For serial fiction authors
Your readers already listen. Give them a real voice.
Serial readers binge by ear, many through a robotic screen reader. Narrate your chapters with a voice worth listening to, keep it consistent for the whole run, and embed the player wherever you post.

Yours is the most audio-hungry readership in fiction.
Serialized fiction lives in the same ecosystem as audiobooks, and readers who can't wait for an audiobook deal already push chapters through text-to-speech apps just to keep listening. That's the demand signal. What they're missing is a voice chosen by the author, consistent across the run, with the text right there to follow.
From posted chapter to narrated chapter
Three steps, no microphone involved.
Paste the chapter
Import from a link, a Google Doc, or plain paste. Chapters become tracks, so your serial stays organized as one narration your readers follow.
Choose the series voice
Pick the narrator once and every chapter sounds like the same book. About 1,000 characters becomes a minute of audio.
Post it where your readers are
Embed the player on your site or share the narration's link in your author notes. New chapters appear as new tracks.
This is the player, live
The exact read-along player you'd embed. Press play and watch the text follow the voice.
Chapters as tracks
Each chapter is its own track with its own title, so readers jump to the latest, and your backlog stays one continuous, listenable serial.
Read-along for every chapter
The text highlights as the narrator reads. Readers can switch between reading and listening mid-chapter without losing their place.
Binge speed included
Playback runs from 0.75× to 2×. Your power readers already listen fast, and the player keeps up.
You're in charge
Every narration carries its own setting — who can reach it — and you can change it whenever you like.
| Where it goes | Private | Unlisted | Public |
|---|---|---|---|
| Plays for anyone with the link | No | Yes | Yes |
| Embeds on your own site | No | Yes | Yes |
| Listed on Discover and your profile | No | No | Yes |
| Turns up in web search | No | No | Yes |
The middle column is how a patron perk works: mark a chapter unlisted and post its link, or the embedded player, in your patron-only feed. It stays off Discover, off your profile and out of search, and your patrons play it with no Allmagine account.
What it costs, in chapters
Narration minutes are the only cost: a typical 2,000-word chapter uses about 12 of them. Listening costs your audience nothing.

Questions serial authors ask
What about invented names and terms?
The narrator reads them the way English spelling suggests, and most invented names come out clean. For the ones that don't, pronunciation rules let you set how a written form should be spoken, and they apply to every narration you generate from then on, so a character or a place you fix once stays fixed for the rest of the run. Generate a chapter first and listen for the names that matter; regenerating only re-spends minutes on tracks you change.
Can I make chapters patron-only?
In practice, yes — but it isn't a hard paywall. You post an unlisted chapter's link, or its embedded player, in your patron-only feed; anyone a patron forwards that link to can play it too, and we don't check who is on the other end. If the tier depends on strict enforcement, publish those chapters as text only for now. Most serial authors treat the audio as an open perk that grows the readership instead.
My backlog is 200 chapters. Do I have to narrate all of it?
No. Start with your current chapters and work backward if readers ask. A 2,000-word chapter is about 12 minutes of narration, so the free plan covers a few chapters a month and the Standard plan covers a steady release schedule plus backlog chipping.
Do listeners need an Allmagine account?
No. Public narrations play in full for anyone, in the embedded player on your site or on the narration's own page. Listeners only need a free account if they want to save things for later and keep their place in sync across devices.
Who owns the audio?
You do. Your text stays yours and so do the narrations made from it. Keep them private, publish them, embed them, or delete them whenever you like.
Your next chapter could drop with audio.
