For Authors

Are you an author looking to transform your stories into a new, captivating experience? Dudley Editions invites you to step into the world of personalised audiobooks.

We’re excited to collaborate with authors who are passionate about bringing their works to life as personalised audiobooks. If you’ve written a children’s book, short story, or novella that you’ve always dreamed of sharing in a personal and immersive way, we’d love to hear from you. 

Whether you have a charming short piece or a compelling narrative, we can work with you to transform your text into something magical. Currently, we’re focusing on works ranging from 1,000 words to 10,000 words — a perfect range for personalised, easily consumable audiobooks. As our technology evolves, so will the possibilities.
