Introducing Digitalbook Publishing<\/strong><\/a> — a free publishing app that lets any creator upload an audiobook, set their own price, and sell it to the listeners already browsing Digitalbook.io<\/a>.

You upload your chapters, add a cover and a description, choose your genres and languages, trim a preview clip, set a price, and submit the book for review. Once a moderator approves it, your audiobook is listed in the Digitalbook<\/a> catalogue, sorted into its genres, surfaced in search, and pushed to the site’s feeds — alongside the titles our listeners are already looking through.<\/p>\n Anyone who records and releases their own audiobooks. An author narrating their own novel. A voice artist building a catalogue instead of taking work for hire. A small publisher bringing a backlist to a new audience. There is no minimum catalogue, no reputation test, and no waiting list.<\/p>\n You earn 70% of gross receipts<\/strong> on every sale — what the buyer actually paid, in the currency you priced the book in. The remaining 30% covers payment processing, hosting, streaming and running the store. There are no listing fees, no setup fees, no per-title charges, and nothing else is deducted from your share.<\/p>\n There is no tier to climb, and — this matters — no exclusivity to sign away to earn it<\/strong>. Your licence to us is non-exclusive. You are free to sell the same recording anywhere else, on another retailer, on your own website, or as physical media, at any time, without telling us.<\/p>\n Publishing here is not a transfer of rights. You keep the copyright in your book and in your recording, and you can take a title down whenever you choose.<\/p>\n [\/et_pb_text][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][\/et_pb_section][et_pb_section fb_built=”1″ admin_label=”Benefits image” _builder_version=”4.27.7″ _module_preset=”default” custom_padding=”12px||12px||false|false” collapsed=”on” global_colors_info=”{}”][et_pb_row _builder_version=”4.27.7″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}”][et_pb_column type=”4_4″ _builder_version=”4.27.7″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}”][et_pb_image src=”https:\/\/www.digitalbook.io\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/09\/digitalbook-why-publish-with-us-creator-benefits.jpg” alt=”Why publish with Digitalbook: free to publish, 70% royalties, protected audio and a ready audience” title_text=”Why publish with Digitalbook: free to publish, 70% royalties, protected audio and a ready audience” align=”center” force_fullwidth=”on” _builder_version=”4.27.7″ _module_preset=”default” custom_margin=”10px||30px||false|false” box_shadow_style=”preset2″ global_colors_info=”{}”][\/et_pb_image][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][\/et_pb_section][et_pb_section fb_built=”1″ admin_label=”How it works” _builder_version=”4.27.7″ _module_preset=”default” custom_padding=”12px||12px||false|false” collapsed=”on” global_colors_info=”{}”][et_pb_row _builder_version=”4.27.7″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}”][et_pb_column type=”4_4″ _builder_version=”4.27.7″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}”][et_pb_text admin_label=”How it works” module_class=”db-introduction-text” _builder_version=”4.27.7″ _module_preset=”default” text_font=”||||||||” text_text_color=”#31344b” text_font_size=”18px” text_line_height=”1.8em” header_letter_spacing=”1px” header_2_font=”|700|||||||” header_2_text_color=”#31344b” header_2_font_size=”30px” header_2_line_height=”1.3em” header_3_font=”|700|||||||” header_3_text_color=”#31344b” header_3_line_height=”1.45em” background_color=”RGBA(255,255,255,0)” custom_margin=”||24px||false|false” header_2_font_size_tablet=”28px” header_2_font_size_phone=”24px” header_2_font_size_last_edited=”on|phone” header_3_font_size_tablet=”” header_3_font_size_phone=”19px” header_3_font_size_last_edited=”on|phone” global_colors_info=”{}”]<\/p>\n Every chapter you upload is transcoded into an AES-128 encrypted HLS stream<\/strong>, and the decryption key is released only to a signed-in listener who owns the book. There is no downloadable audio file for buyers to pass around. We are honest about the limits of this — no client-side protection is unbreakable against a determined listener — but it removes the casual, effortless copying that makes creators nervous about releasing audio at all.<\/p>\n The whole flow is a seven-step form — quick and straightforward from start to submit.<\/p>\n A published book can be unpublished, corrected and released again, so a typo in a description or a chapter that needs re-recording is something you fix, not something you live with. If a title has already sold, taking it down unlists it rather than deleting it — the people who paid for it keep what they bought.<\/p>\n [\/et_pb_text][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][\/et_pb_section][et_pb_section fb_built=”1″ admin_label=”Wizard image” _builder_version=”4.27.7″ _module_preset=”default” custom_padding=”12px||12px||false|false” collapsed=”on” global_colors_info=”{}”][et_pb_row _builder_version=”4.27.7″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}”][et_pb_column type=”4_4″ _builder_version=”4.27.7″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}”][et_pb_image src=”https:\/\/www.digitalbook.io\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/09\/digitalbook-audiobook-publishing-seven-steps.jpg” alt=”The seven-step audiobook publishing form in the Digitalbook creator dashboard” title_text=”The seven-step audiobook publishing form in the Digitalbook creator dashboard” align=”center” force_fullwidth=”on” _builder_version=”4.27.7″ _module_preset=”default” custom_margin=”10px||10px||false|false” box_shadow_style=”preset2″ global_colors_info=”{}”][\/et_pb_image][et_pb_text admin_label=”Caption” _builder_version=”4.27.7″ _module_preset=”default” text_font=”||||||||” text_text_color=”#7a7d92″ text_font_size=”15px” text_line_height=”1.6em” text_orientation=”center” global_colors_info=”{}”]<\/p>\n Step one of seven.

Giving a book away free is a first-class choice here, not a discount to zero: plenty of creators use a free title to find an audience for a paid one, and our listeners have always come to Digitalbook<\/a> for free public domain audiobooks<\/a> in the first place.<\/p>\n Royalties are accounted for by calendar month and fall due 30 days after that month ends — a window that lets refunds and chargebacks settle before anything is paid out. Payments go by bank transfer through Stripe<\/a>, straight into your own account. Your bank details are entered directly into Stripe and are never seen or stored by us.<\/p>\n Launching a book onto an empty shelf is the quiet problem with most self-publishing. More than 100,000 people use Digitalbook every month<\/strong>, across web, iOS and Android. Your title is listed among the books they are already searching through — discovery does not depend on you buying ads.<\/p>\n\n
