Depending on the type of production or distribution deal the rights holder entered into, it is possible to have a title removed from Audible, Amazon, and Apple Books. Specifically, rights holders can request to remove the audiobook distribution on Audible after the audiobook has been live for 90 days.

Note: If you would like to completely remove the book from ACX (which will remove all auditions), visit "How can I unclaim my title on ACX?" in Claim my title.

How can I remove the audiobook I created using royalty share from Audible?

If you created your audiobook through Royalty Share on ACX and it has been less than 7 years since it was made available on Audible, you need to obtain consent from the narrator or producer before requesting its removal. This is because the producer relies on the audiobook sales to recoup costs and get compensated for their work. You should discuss with the producer through the ACX message center and get their consent. Once you have the producer's consent, both of you should email the request to ACX customer support. Audible will then process the request after verifying the producer's consent.

How can I remove the audiobook I created using Pay-for-Production or DIY from Audible?

If you created your audiobook using Pay-for-Production or DIY method, and the audiobook has been live 90 days, you can directly request its removal by contacting ACX customer support. Audible will process your request and notify you when the termination of the agreement for your audiobook is effective.
