How to Get Your Audiobook on Everand (Scribd)

Everand (the platform many authors still know as Scribd) is one of the largest subscription libraries for audiobooks, ebooks, and documents. If your listeners already pay a monthly fee to read and listen there, having your audiobook in that catalog puts it in front of an audience that browses without paying per title. This guide walks through how to reach Everand, how payouts work, and where AudioProducer fits in the process.

What Everand (formerly Scribd) is

Everand is a subscription service. Members pay a flat monthly price and get access to a rotating catalog of audiobooks and ebooks. That model is different from a storefront like Apple or a wide retailer network. Instead of a customer buying your title outright, a subscriber presses play, and you earn a share of subscription revenue based on how much of your audiobook actually gets listened to. Scribd rebranded its consumer app to Everand in 2023, so the reading and listening experience most people see now carries the Everand name, while the company behind it is still Scribd, Inc.

For an indie author, the appeal is discovery. Subscription listeners try titles they would never risk a full purchase on, which means a well-tagged audiobook can find readers who were only browsing.

Export your finished audiobook from AudioProducer

Before you can reach any platform, you need a finished audio file. AudioProducer turns your manuscript into narrated audio and gives you an MP3 you download. You can generate up to 1,200 words free with no card, and paid plans start from $39.99 per month when you need more. If you want the narration in your own voice, voice cloning is available with consent, meaning your own voice or a voice you have permission to use.

One point worth being clear about: AudioProducer produces the file. We do not upload, distribute, or publish your audiobook to Everand, Audible, Spotify, or any store or library on your behalf. You download the MP3 and take it to the platform or aggregator you choose. If you are new to producing the file itself, start with our guide on how to make an audiobook with AI, then come back here for the distribution step.

How to get your audiobook onto Everand

Everand does not offer a simple direct upload for individual indie audiobooks the way a storefront might. Most independent authors reach it through an aggregator that already has a distribution relationship with Scribd. The two common paths are Findaway Voices and PublishDrive. You upload your finished MP3, cover, and metadata to the aggregator once, select the retailers and subscription services you want to be included in, and the aggregator delivers your files to Everand and the other channels you picked.

Because distribution paths and platform partnerships change, confirm the current route at the time you publish. Open your aggregator dashboard, look for Everand or Scribd in the list of available channels, and opt in. If it is not listed, check the aggregator's help center for the latest supported outlets. Going through an aggregator also keeps your title consistent across every subscription and retail channel you sell on, which matters if you plan to go wide and non-exclusive rather than locking into a single store.

How subscription payouts work on Everand

Payment on a subscription service is not a fixed per-sale rate. You earn a share of the subscription pool tied to listening activity, so a title that gets listened to in full pays more than one a subscriber samples and sets aside. Everand and your aggregator set the terms, and those terms can change, so read the current payout schedule in your aggregator agreement before you assume a number. There are no guaranteed earnings and no fixed rate we can quote here.

The practical takeaway is that subscription income rewards completion and steady listening rather than a single checkout moment. If you want to understand how this fits alongside per-sale retail income, our overview of audiobook royalties breaks down the different models side by side.

Metadata and listing details that matter

Whatever channel you enter through, your listing is only as findable as its metadata. Fill in a clear title and subtitle, an accurate category, and a description that tells a subscriber what they are getting in the first two lines. Add the narrator credit, the correct language, and keywords a browsing listener would actually type. A clean cover and a precise runtime help too, since subscription readers judge quickly. Everand's catalog is large, so specific, honest tagging does more for discovery than broad tags that put you next to thousands of unrelated titles.

FAQ

How much do I earn from Everand? Everand is a subscription service, so you earn a share of subscription revenue tied to how much of your audiobook members actually listen to, not a fixed per-sale royalty.
