The Game

Hannah Cumber

Literary Fiction

Chapter 1

Freezing bark scraped against my face as I balanced two-thirds of the way up an oak tree. Winter had made the branches brittle, and the rough wood cut into my bare feet.

A gust lifted the branch beneath me. I dug my fingers into the trunk and pressed closer. I could hear the scratch-tap of the beetles inside the bark. An old tree.

Energy swelled deep within the trunk of the oak. Most of the younger trees had pulled their magic, retreating and binding it deep underneath the sleeping earth. But the oak was holding on, fighting the bite of cold with its size and deeper magic.

Winter howled and came again through the branches. I shifted my weight before the gust hit. The wind clawed at the thin cloth of my tunic, trying to pull me from the tree. It knew I didn’t belong there.

I gritted my teeth. Whoever said “steady as an oak” never had to find their food at the top of one.

Audiobook production is still broken

Audiobooks are booming — a $2.43 billion market, with 58% of Americans now listening. But an author still has only three ways to make one — and all three are broken.

Hire a narrator

$2K–6K

Per book, at $250+ a finished hour — then 6–12 weeks of auditions, recording, and revisions. Or split your royalties 50/50 for seven years.

Record it yourself

Weeks of work

Buy the gear, learn to perform, then edit and master every chapter to ACX spec — take after take. Most authors are writers, not narrators.

Generic AI voices

Robotic

Fast and cheap — but they mangle character names, read every character in one flat voice, and hand you raw clips, not a finished audiobook.

Sources: Audio Publishers Association 2026 Sales & Consumer Surveys (2025 data); ACX narrator rate & production guidelines; Grand View Research Global Audiobooks Market Report.

The voices finally sound good. The production never did.
And listeners can tell — willingness to try AI narration has slipped from 77% to 70% in two years.

Not a voice generator. A production studio.

Everything between your manuscript and a finished, retail-ready audiobook: analysis, casting, direction, and mastering — in one place.
