Big news for self-published authors — starting today, you can publish your audiobooks directly to Spotify through Spotify for Authors. We've been hard at work building an innovative platform that's pushing the audiobooks industry forward. Last year, we equipped publishers and the authors they represent with tools to help them thrive on Spotify. Now, we're opening the doors even wider by giving self-published authors the same access to insights, control, and opportunity for success on Spotify.

One platform. Endless potential.

If you’re a self-published author, there’s no better place to get started:

• Create an account
• Upload your audiobook
• Set up your payment profile
• Publish directly to Spotify — all in one place

Publishing directly with Spotify for Authors simplifies your workflow, unlocks industry-leading insights, and allows you to maximize revenue from distribution to Spotify.

From geographic and demographic breakdowns to affinity data that reveals what podcasts and authors your listeners also love, you’ll get the most comprehensive view available on your audience, your audiobooks, and your performance on Spotify.

1. Upload your audiobook to Spotify for Authors
2. Opt to share your title with INaudio
