About us

We're professionals with years (ok, decades...) of experience in the children's audio publishing space.

We believe creating quality audio doesn't have to cost the world, and we believe that children's publishers and content creators have a responsibility to ensure children see and hear themselves in stories. We also believe they should see and hear people very different to them, and that the stories they access should open a window to the world.

The campaign for global literacy is close to our hearts, so we give back to charities and organisations working in education at the grassroots level. Find out more here.


Yeah, yeah, we sound great. But what do our clients say?

"We've long wanted to create an audio version of Real-life Disasters and The Audio Agency have been the perfect partner to make this happen. It's thrilling to see Susan's text and research brought to life in a new way with top-quality narration and exciting sound effects."
— Sam Hutchinson, Publisher at b small publishing

 

“We’re delighted to be working with The Audio Agency to turn our fresh and inspiring content into audiobooks. To have such industry experts transform our non-fiction into compelling non-fiction audio is extremely exciting.”

— Sarah Walden, Managing Director, Publisher and Co-founder of Noodle Juice

 

“For me as an independent author, working with the Audio Agency was an absolute pleasure! They were friendly, prompt and professional, guiding me through an unfamiliar process so efficiently that each step was complete well before I had anticipated. Their recommendation of narrator for The Leopard in the Golden Cage was excellent, and the choices of opening music they gave me were thoughtful and suited my book extremely well. I look forward to working with them on other titles in the future.”
— Julia Edwards, Author of The Leopard in the Golden Cage, published by Laverstock Publishing

 

"What I particularly like about this audio collection [In the Garden by Rob Ramsden, published by Scallywag Press] is the attention to detail. The narrators are wonderfully expressive ... the use of orchestral music and sounds of the outdoors are enchanting and almost tangible, adding richness to the storytelling."
— TSL Magazine, official publication of the School Library Association
