For indie & self-published authors

Sell your audiobook on Avidlee.

You keep 70% of every sale. Every submission is reviewed personally before it goes live.

Submission rules

  • Audiobooks only — no written-only books

    Avidlee is an audiobook platform. You must submit a finished, listenable MP3 recording. We do not sell text-only books.

  • You must own the audio rights

    The recording must be yours, either narrated by you or by a voice actor you've paid/licensed. Do NOT upload other people's narrations of public-domain works.

  • One single MP3, up to 50MB

    For the MVP we accept a single MP3 file per book — full audiobook or a substantial sample. Multi-chapter uploads are coming soon.

  • Quality bar

    Clean recording (no background hum), consistent volume, a real cover image, and a description that helps a reader decide. We reject low-effort uploads.

  • Content guidelines

    No hate speech, no content that sexualizes minors, no plagiarized work, no AI-generated content presented as your own. Cozy, dark, romantic, literary — all welcome. Disturbing for shock-value alone — not.

  • Every book is reviewed before it goes live

    After you upload, your audiobook stays in a private 'pending' queue until our team listens and approves it. Usually 1–3 business days. If approved, it appears in the public Avidlee catalog.

By submitting, you confirm that (a) you hold all rights to the recording and cover image, (b) you grant Avidlee a non-exclusive license to sell the audiobook with a 70/30 author/platform revenue split, and (c) we may remove the title at any time if it violates these rules.
