At ElevenLabs, our mission is to make content universally accessible in any language. Today, we’re announcing that ElevenReader, our audiobook platform, is now the featured audiobook partner for PublishDrive, one of the world’s leading distribution platforms for independent authors.

This partnership establishes ElevenReader alongside Apple Books as one of only two platforms offering automated audiobook production at scale for independent authors.

Expanding access to audio for independent authors

Independent authors publishing through PublishDrive can now create high-quality audiobooks on ElevenReader in just a few steps. With a wide selection of expressive voices and language options, authors can enable their books for lifelike narration and reach listeners around the world - all while maintaining full ownership and creative control of their work.

Behind every ElevenReader production are the most advanced and natural-sounding voices in the industry, developed by ElevenLabs. Each voice narration captures tone, pacing, and emotional nuance with the depth and clarity of human narration, making audio creation faster and more accessible without compromising quality.

Empowering more stories to be heard

Audio is the fastest-growing format in publishing, yet traditional production remains expensive and time-consuming. ElevenReader and PublishDrive are working together to make audiobook creation simpler for every author - whether they’re releasing their first title or managing a growing catalog.

The result is a more open path to global distribution and discovery, giving writers new ways to connect with audiences who prefer to listen.

A shared vision for storytelling

ElevenReader is built on the belief that every story deserves to be heard - in any voice, any language, anywhere. Our collaboration with PublishDrive reflects a shared commitment to accessibility, creativity, and author empowerment.
