Spotify is turning AI audiobooks into a publishing workflow

Spotify is turning AI audiobooks into a publishing workflow
“Audiobook production has always had one problem: it’s expensive and slow. Recording, editing, distribution. Most authors skip it entirely.
Spotify just removed that excuse. They’re adding AI audiobook creation to Spotify for Authors using ElevenLabs, starting with an invite-only beta in June. English first, more languages later. No exclusivity lock-in, so authors keep full distribution rights.
This isn’t a consumer feature. It’s a publishing workflow play. Spotify is quietly positioning itself at the start of the audiobook supply chain, not just the end.”
