How to Publish Your AI Audiobook on Findaway Voices (Spotify Audiobooks)

To publish your AI audiobook on Findaway Voices (now part of Spotify Audiobooks), you make the finished audio in AudioProducer, download the MP3 files, and then upload them yourself in a free Findaway Voices account. AudioProducer produces the audio; Findaway is a separate distribution service you sign into and submit to on your own. There is no Findaway integration inside AudioProducer, and we do not send anything to any store for you.

That split is the whole thing to keep straight. Our part ends when you have the file on your computer. Findaway's part begins when you log in and start a new title. Below is what each side asks for and the order we would do it in.

What Findaway Voices (Spotify Audiobooks) is

Findaway Voices is a distributor. You give it your finished audiobook and its metadata, and it lists your title to a wide set of retailers and libraries, including Spotify Audiobooks. It is a common path for authors who want reach beyond a single store, and it does not require exclusivity the way some other programs do. Findaway is free to open an account with; it takes a share of sales rather than a fee up front. For their current terms and territory list, check Findaway's own site, since those details change.

The key point for our purposes: Findaway wants a finished, retail-ready audio file plus artwork and text metadata. It does not narrate or produce anything. That production step is where AudioProducer comes in.

What files Findaway asks you to upload

Findaway's uploader is built around a few pieces. Exact specs shift over time, so treat this as the shape of the ask and confirm the numbers against Findaway's current guidelines when you upload:

• Audio files, usually one per chapter or section. Findaway asks authors to split the book into parts rather than one giant file, so listeners get chapter navigation.
• Opening and closing credits. A short intro and outro naming the title, author, and narrator.
• A retail sample. A short clip pulled from the book that stores use as a preview.
• Cover art. A square image at the pixel size Findaway specifies.
• Text metadata. Title, author, narrator credit, description, and category. If you use an AI narrator, describe the narration honestly in the fields that ask.

Everything on that list except the cover and the text is audio, and audio is what you export from AudioProducer.

Making those files in AudioProducer

In AudioProducer you paste or upload your manuscript, choose voices, and generate narration. You can assign a different voice to each speaker for a full-cast feel, or keep a single narrator for the whole book. When the audio sounds right, you download it as an MP3. That downloaded file is yours to use wherever you publish, including Findaway. Read the full walkthrough of making an audiobook with AI if you are starting from a blank manuscript.

To match Findaway's per-chapter structure, produce and export your book in the sections you want as separate tracks, so each download lines up with a chapter. Do your opening and closing credits as their own short pieces, and pull a clean passage for the retail sample. If you clone a voice for the narration, use only your own voice or one you have written permission to use.

Our free tier gives you 1,200 words to test the full flow with no card, and paid plans start at $39.99 per month when you are ready to produce a whole book. You do the export once; the files then belong to you.

The upload steps on Findaway's side

Once your MP3 files are on your computer, the rest happens entirely in Findaway:

• Open a free Findaway Voices account and start a new title.
• Enter the text metadata: title, author, narrator, description, and categories.
• Upload your cover art at their required size.
• Upload the audio files in order, including the credits and the retail sample where the uploader asks for them.
• Choose your distribution and pricing options from what Findaway offers.
• Submit for their quality review.

Findaway runs a technical and content check before a title goes live. If a file is rejected for a spec issue, you fix it in AudioProducer, export again, and re-upload that piece. Because your source is saved in your project, regenerating one chapter is quick.

After you publish

After Findaway approves the title, it distributes to its retail and library partners, and listings appear over the following days as each store ingests the file. Sales and payouts are handled by Findaway under its terms, not by us. If you later want to sell copies yourself as well, the same downloaded MP3 works for that; see selling an audiobook direct on your own site. Findaway is one route among several, so it is worth reading how the options compare, including self-publishing an audiobook without ACX, selling on Spotify and Google Play, and whether you can sell AI-narrated audiobooks on Audible. Each store sets its own rules on AI narration, so check the current policy of any platform before you upload.
