BookHive

What BookHive is

BookHive provides AI-narrated audiobooks for readers and a publishing service for writers. Writers can submit manuscripts in PDF, EPUB, or TXT format, and the service generates narration without requiring a recording studio. The free Writers plan includes unlimited story uploads and AI narration. BookHive says reader subscription revenue goes to writers, with each share distributed according to listening time. Readers can access sample chapters without an account; the sample library lists nine chapters and describes a catalog containing 15M+ words. Sample filters include fantasy, science fiction, thriller, crime, and literary fiction. Subscribers can stream or download audiobooks for offline listening and cancel from account settings. The Reader Subscription costs $12.99 a month and provides access to the full library. Writers are currently accepted by invitation, and applicants are asked to email a brief introduction and a link to prior work if available. BookHive operates on the web and lists [email protected] for subscription questions and help.
