How it works

Two paths for authors — then what your readers get.

For authors

If you're writing the book

  1. 1

    Tell us the book

    Topic, title, and your chapter ideas. Two sentences on each, typed or spoken. Upload anything you've already written.

  2. 2

    Record two minutes, upload a photo

    That's your voice cloned and your video twin built.

  3. 3

    Read chapter one free, in your own voice

    Your twin reads it back. If you want the rest, that's where you decide.

  4. 4

    We edit it, cover it, and publish it

    Self-edit as much as you want, pick from three generated covers or upload your own, and your page goes live at yourname.asktheauthor.ai.

If you already have the book

  1. 1

    Upload it

    PDF or EPUB. We process it for reading, listening, and live Q&A.

  2. 2

    Record two minutes, upload a photo

    Same step, same result: your voice, your face.

  3. 3

    Your book becomes audible

    Narrated start to finish in your own voice, not a stock AI reader.

  4. 4

    Share your link

    Your page holds up to three books. Every sale is yours minus a flat $1.

For readers

  1. 1

    Find an author you trust

    Browse titles or open a link a friend shared.

  2. 2

    Choose a voice or video package

    There is no book-only purchase — the package is how you get the book, readable on the web and narrated in the author's voice.

  3. 3

    Ask anything as you read

    Type or speak a question. The author answers live, drawing from your minute bucket.

  4. 4

    Top up only if you want more

    Reading and listening never expire. Question minutes top up any time, never a subscription.
