The typical turnaround time for recording and post-production with audiobook publishers UK usually depends on the length and complexity of the project. Most publishers take 2 to 6 weeks from the start of recording to the delivery of the final mastered files.
This process includes narration, editing, sound mastering, and quality checks to meet platform standards like Audible and iTunes. Some publishers offer faster turnaround options for shorter titles or when authors provide pre-approved narrators.
Overall, UK audiobook publishers aim to balance speed and professional sound quality, ensuring every audiobook is clear, polished, and ready for global distribution.
