Profit Margins
Profit margins vary across platforms. For detailed information on profit calculations, please request the Platform-Based Profit Calculation document from your publishing consultant.
Script Preparation
During this stage, we will edit sections of the book that are not suitable for an audiobook—for example, references such as “see the image below,” which do not translate well to audio format, will be removed
Global Listing
We will list your audiobook on all platforms included in your package. However, please note that platforms like Audible may reject distribution if the content quality does not meet their standards. In such cases, Clever Fox will not be held responsible for rejections by these platforms.
Sound FX
Background sound effects will be used to enhance the listening experience, depending on the theme of your book—for instance, birds chirping, traffic noise, etc.
Author Dashboard
You can track your audiobook sales through your author dashboard.
Narrator Recording
We will assign a narrator for your audiobook. You may request your project manager to share available voice samples. Based on your selection, we will confirm the narrator
Number of Narrators
Number of Narrators:
This refers to the number of narrators required for your audiobook. If your content requires multiple narrators, please inform your publishing consultant and project manager before production begins. Additional charges may apply for multiple
narrators
Voice Editing
Voice editing includes inserting necessary pauses and removing background noise to the extent technology allows. The audio files will be optimized to meet platform-specific technical requirements. Our audio experts will handle this process for you.
Languages Available

Royalty Payment Cycle
Author royalties will be calculated and paid on a quarterly basis, after deducting applicable TDS (Tax Deducted at Source) and bank charges. A minimum threshold of $50 must be met for payment to be processed. If the threshold is not met, the royalty amount will be carried forward to the next cycle.
Recording Environment
Recording will be done in a home studio setup or a professional studio, depending on the specifications of your package. The recording environment is determined based on your selected package and budget.
Spotify Author Profile
A dedicated Spotify profile will be created for the author, helping build a personal brand presence on the platform. This profile will display the author’s audiobooks and any associated content, allowing listeners to easily follow and engage.
Spotify Redemption Code
A unique redemption code will be provided for your audiobook, allowing selected users to access it for free. This is useful for promotional giveaways, influencer marketing, or reviewer access.
Spotify Audience Insight
