For Authors

// Transform Your Stories Into Audio Experiences

Audiobooks are one of the fastest-growing segments in publishing. Vox 9 gives independent authors the tools to tap into this booming market — without the traditional barriers.

The Audiobook Opportunity

The audiobook industry has exploded in recent years, and for good reason. Modern listeners want content they can enjoy on the go — during commutes, workouts, household chores, and downtime. Audio format makes your stories accessible to entirely new audiences.

$5B+ Global Market Size
25% Annual Growth Rate
50%+ Adults Listen to Audio

But traditionally, creating an audiobook has been expensive and time-consuming. Professional narrators charge thousands of dollars. Studio time adds up quickly. Production takes weeks or months. For independent authors, these barriers have made audiobook publishing nearly impossible.

Until now.

What Can You Create?

Vox 9 is perfect for all types of audio content:

Fiction

Novels, short stories, serial fiction, fan fiction, flash fiction, novellas — any narrative work translates beautifully to audio.

Non-Fiction

Self-help books, memoirs, how-to guides, essays, thought leadership pieces, educational content.

Serialized Content

Release chapters weekly to build anticipation. Perfect for web novel authors, Wattpad writers, and serial storytellers.

Short-Form Audio

How You Earn

You don't need to put anything behind a paywall. Many authors keep all their content free and let fans support them because they want to. Your listeners already love your work — Vox9 just makes it easy for them to show it.

Tips — You Keep 80%

Listeners can send you one-time tips ($1–$100) directly from your author page. You keep 80% of every tip after payment processing. No strings attached — tipping doesn't unlock anything. It's your fans saying thank you.

Subscriptions — You Keep 50%

Optionally set a monthly subscription price for your profile. Subscribers get access to any content you mark as subscriber-only. You keep 50% of every payment. Most authors set this at $2–$5/month, but the price is entirely up to you.

Payouts via PayPal

Tips and subscription earnings pool together in your author balance. Once you hit $9, you can request a payout to your PayPal account anytime from your dashboard — no waiting for monthly cycles, no minimum duration.

You can combine all of these or just use one. Many authors start fully free, let their existing fan base discover them on Vox9, and the support follows naturally.

You control your pricing, your release schedule, and your content strategy. No gatekeepers, no approval processes, no waiting.

Common Questions

Is Vox 9 a legitimate company?

Yes. Vox9 Studios Ltd is a UK Limited Company registered at Companies House (No. 16892001). We're a registered DMCA Designated Agent with the U.S. Copyright Office (DMCA-1072320). Payments are processed by Stripe under their full KYC verification, and author payouts go through PayPal Payouts. All of this is publicly verifiable — links in the panel above.

Do I need technical skills?

Not at all. If you can copy and paste text, you can create audiobooks on Vox 9. Our interface is designed for authors, not audio engineers.

What about copyright?

The text you upload remains 100% yours. You can publish it anywhere else (Amazon, your website, Patreon — all fine), and you can delete it from Vox 9 anytime — the licence we hold ends immediately the moment you do.

One nuance worth being clear about: when you use Vox 9's AI narration to turn your text into audio, the audio file itself is generated using Vox 9's ElevenLabs credits (the 100,000/month we cover for you on the free plan). That audio is licensed for distribution on the Vox 9 platform. If you want a master file you can upload to YouTube or sell on Audible, you have two options: record your own narration and upload the MP3 (we treat uploaded audio as fully yours), or re-narrate your text using your own ElevenLabs account.

If you upload your own MP3, you keep full ownership of the audio too — Vox 9 just gets the licence to host and stream it on the platform.

Do you train AI on my work?

No. Your text and audio are never used to train any AI models — not ours, not ElevenLabs', not OpenAI's, not Anthropic's, not anyone else's. The only AI we use is ElevenLabs for text-to-speech narration of your text, and Whisper to auto-generate captions from uploaded audio. That's purely on the output side — your work isn't fed into any model's training data. We also don't sell your work or any derivatives of it to third parties. Ever.

How does the AI voice sound?

Our AI voices are powered by ElevenLabs, the industry leader in natural-sounding text-to-speech. Most listeners can't tell the difference from human narration.

What if I run out of free characters?

Your 100,000 characters reset every month. If you need more in a given month, you can buy top-up packs directly from your dashboard (Starter $3, Standard $12, Large $22) — purchased credits never expire and only get used after your monthly free pool runs out. You can also redeem credits at cost price using your earnings balance from tips and subscriptions, if you'd rather spend balance than withdraw it. And if none of that quite fits your situation, just reach out — happy to talk.

How do I get paid?

Tips (80% to you) and subscription earnings (50% to you) pool together in your author balance. Once your balance reaches $9, you can request a payout to PayPal directly from your dashboard. There are no monthly wait periods — you can cash out whenever you want.

Do I have to charge for my content?

No. Many authors keep everything completely free and still earn through tips. Your fans can send you a tip from your author page at any time — no subscription required. You can also mix free and subscriber-only episodes if you prefer.

What if I want to leave Vox 9?

One click in your dashboard removes everything: every episode, every cover image, every transcript, every comment thread. Backups age out within 30 days. Our licence to use your work terminates the instant you delete — we cannot continue distributing your stories without your active permission.
