Welcome to DeepZen’s Publisher Portal
DeepZen’s publisher portal enables you to conveniently manage all your audiobook projects in one place, quickly and cost-effectively. We offer a range of service options depending on your needs and budget.
MANAGED SERVICE
We recommend the managed service for fiction titles. This is an end to end service which includes a pronunciation check, proofing review by DeepZen editors, customer quality review and 2 corrections stages, post-processing and mastering ready for distribution. The turn-around for this service is 1 to 2 weeks. The cost per finished hour is $129.00/ £99.00.
The automated service is more appropriate for non-fiction genres. After you’ve uploaded your ePub, we provide a full pronunciation check, make any necessary pronunciation corrections and then convert your ePub into audio. We post-process and master your audiobook to industry standard specifications so the title is ready for distribution. The cost is $69.00/ £49.00 per finished hour and we deliver files within 3 to 5 days.
