Does it cost anything to take part?

Producing your audiobook on AudioForge is free for authors through the end of 2026. The reels and campaign support are on us.

Do I need 50 chapters to apply?

No. 50+ chapters gives you bonus points, and you can get there during the campaign. We'll help you produce them.

I don't have a social page yet. Can I still apply?

Yes, as long as you're willing to start posting. An existing page helps you get picked, but commitment matters most.

How are the ten chosen?

We look at your commitment first, then your chapter count, your existing readership and your social presence.
