AMPlify Audiobooks is built for socially conscious listeners, independent authors, small publishers, narrators, and podcasters who want a more human-centered audiobook future.
Your voice, your story, and your choices matter here.
Like your local farmers market where the people eating the food can directly connect with the people growing the food, on AMPlify listeners and authors and narrators get to build community together as part of the audiobook experience.
Capture your thoughts as you listen and explore author prompts and rich media that deepen every story experience. Like writing in the margins of a book, but in a way that allows you to share your thoughts with and ask your questions of the creators.
Authors earn 65% of what the Listener pays—that's 2-4x more, compared to traditional platforms. The rest covers merchant fees, our human customer service team, and keeping the platform tip-top. We are not backed by venture capital—just by our own bootstraps. On AMPlify, authors can thrive—which means they can charge less and still earn more. It's a win-win for everyone.

Listeners
Stories are meant to bring people together, yet standard retailers profit by keeping them apart. They control pricing regardless of an author's preferences, and by keeping marketing and pricing tools out of authors' hands, make it harder for the right stories to reach the right listeners. AMPlify puts the relationship back at the center so each purchase can support the people and stories you care about.
Retailer-controlled pricing, disconnected customer relationships, subscription giveaways, and restrictive review rules can all keep real community relationships from happening. AMPlify is designed for a more direct, human-centered way to buy and share audiobooks.
Community
Live book-club style conversations with listeners, authors, and narrators.
Author events, audiobook launches, Q&A sessions, readings, and behind-the-scenes context.
Timestamped listener reflections, author annotations, replies, and direct links back to the moments that moved you.
Authors
AMPlify Audiobooks™ presents audiobook publishing as more than creating and posting a product. It fosters a community. Production, launch, marketing, and long-term listener connection all belong to one connected experience.
AMPlify positions production as the start of a listening experience, crafting the experience to create the optimal listener experience. From casting and manuscript prep through narration, post-production, distribution, and marketing, our team guides the process with care and attention to detail as part of our long-term commitment to your success.
Through launch and beyond, AMPlify provides promotional strategies, audience outreach, campaign ideas, and ongoing support. As part of your paid membership, you may attend free the monthly ACCESS marketing mentorship calls. Bring your questions, challenges, and victories so the author community can learn and grow together.
AMPlify Audiobooks™ only accepts human narrated audiobooks. We provide human customer service. Because here, we treasure our shared humanity and believe it is central to our stories.

What people value
Listener
"I'm always looking for ways to support small businesses rather than billionaires. Joining and listening via AMPlify Audiobooks is a great way to support not only a small business, but to also make sure more money goes directly to some of my favorite authors."
Listener
"Building Community is so important to me, and to be able to connect with other listeners who also love the same books I do? My community is now even greater than it was before!"
Author
"...being able to manage the price, manage the way my product page looks, getting coupons, and the big one is getting the email addresses. I know who is buying my book so that I can create a relationship with them for marketing purposes. Yes the royalties are cool, but it's about the control this program gives!"
Listener
"Supporting artists more directly always feels like the best choice."
Publisher accounts provide tools to help authors succeed at scale.
For example, a 20-title catalog selling 30 copies at $10 each per month would produce about $3,900/month in direct revenue.
Narrators are treated as visible creative contributors, not hidden production credits.
Engage your podcast audience with aligned authors, audiobooks, and community conversations.
