Why We're Writing
Midsummerr produces dramatized audiobooks with AI-generated full-cast voices, original score, and sound design — in a fraction of the time of traditional studio production. This blog is where we share the production craft behind the platform, and the practical decisions every publisher and author faces when bringing a book to audio. All voices are AI-generated and disclosed as such on retail platforms that require it.
What you'll find here:
- Production guides — how to take a manuscript from upload to finished audiobook
- Cost and timeline breakdowns — side-by-side comparisons across the production options available today
- Distribution playbooks — where dramatized audio fits, and where it doesn't
- Craft notes — character casting, pacing, score, sound design
Who This Is For
If you're a publisher scaling an audio catalog at a fraction of traditional per-title production cost, or an indie author with a backlist that traditional production economics made impractical, you're in the right place. We focus on fantasy, romantasy, thrillers, mystery, and romance — genres where full-cast performance tends to resonate most with listeners.
