Are you an aspiring independent author? Spotify's wants to buy your short-form audiobook
Briefly

Spotify is launching a new initiative to support independent authors by allowing them to submit short-form audiobooks for publication. Authors can submit works in genres such as romance, mystery/thriller, or sci-fi/fantasy, with stories needing to be 10,000 to 20,000 words long. The program is open globally to authors who control their audio rights. To enhance their chances of selection, authors must provide detailed information about their publication history and marketing strategies. Spotify will manage the audiobook production, sales, and distribution.
Spotify aims to simplify the audiobook process, allowing independent authors to submit short-form books, with potential for publication, royalties, and distribution.
In order to submit, authors must write stories in specific genres designed for audio, emphasizing quality character development and engaging dialogue.
The submission is open to authors who control audio rights for their stories, requiring detailed information about past publications and marketing strategies.
Spotify is dedicated to producing and promoting standalone audiobooks, welcoming cross-genre submissions while excluding erotica and children's content.
