Chiify distributes audiobooks alongside ebooks. Here is how to get yours up.
What you need
- Chapter audio files in MP3 or M4A, one per chapter, in order.
- A cover (square covers are standard for audio; high resolution).
- Metadata — title, author, narrator, description, and categories.
Steps
- Start a new book and set the format to include audiobook.
- Upload your audio files in chapter order.
- Add the cover and metadata, including the narrator name.
- If your narration is AI/synthetic, declare it — see AI content disclosure.
- Submit for review (24–48 hours), then Chiify delivers to audiobook stores and library audio channels.
Audio quality tips
- Consistent volume and clean, noise-free recordings pass review smoothly.
- Name files so the chapter order is obvious.
Audiobooks are a fast-growing format — adding one to an existing ebook is an easy way to reach more readers (and listeners).
