AMPlify Audiobooks™ is a community built for socially-conscious listeners, indie authors, small publishers, narrators, and podcasters, not just a place to buy and sell audiobooks.
If you're tired of giant platforms that take most of the profits and bury meaningful stories—you're in the right place.
Here every dollar is a vote for an ethical, human-centered audiobook future. This is where creativity and creators thrive, and meaningful conversations begin. We're glad you're here. Welcome home.
Listeners
Listen. Relfect. Connect.
It's that easy. Together we can change the world.
What They Don't Tell You
Most audiobook stores intentionally divide us. They keep authors from knowing who their listeners are, hoarding that info. They push listeners into subscriptions that might not even be a good fit for them, by offering them audiobooks that they are stealing from the authors! That's right, Audible doesn't pay authors if they give away audiobooks to get you to subscribe (making you an accessory to the theft without even telling you). They'll also delete your review if they thing that you might actually know that author. What?! Sad, but true.
Those same retailers also control what audiobooks sell for—even if the authors would prefer to offer them at lower prices or even give them away. The only winners are the retailers themselves, not the customers and certainly not the creators.
We-the-People Power
On AMPlify, the power is back in the hands of the people—where it belongs!! Here's that that means for audiobook fans:

At AMPlify Audiobooks, we partner with authors and publishers to help create, launch, and grow successful audiobook experiences from start to finish.
Audiobook Production Support
Creating an audiobook is not just about adding a product. It’s about creating an experience that will draw you and your followers into community. From the outset, our team collaborates with you to develop the best possible listening experience. Including everything from casting and manuscript prep, through narration and post-production, and at last into distribution and marketing, we’re with you all the way. Whether it’s your first audiobook or your fifteenth, we’ll guide you through the process without the techno-gobbledygook.
Marketing & Launch Consultation
Producing and publishing your audiobook is only the beginning. We also offer ongoing marketing consultation services through the AMPlify Audiobooks platform to help you build visibility, connect with listeners, create momentum, and keep you on a journey of growth. From promotional strategy and audience outreach to creative campaign ideas and platform optimization, we help you make the most of your audiobook investment.
A Human-Centered Partner for Indie Authors
We believe authors deserve more control, more support, and more opportunity in the audiobook world. That’s why we combine ethical distribution with hands-on guidance, higher royalties, and a community that wants to see you succeed.
Because honestly? Great stories deserve more than an upload button and a “good luck.”
"I can create a relationship with [my audience] for marketing purposes."
"I can create coupons, can give out gifts, I can do all of this myself without having to wait for some tech expert to do it for me."
That's why AMPlify Audiobooks™ is built for you.
