After you or your rights holder have approved the audiobook, the project will be reviewed by our audio team who will check to ensure the book meets ACX audio submission requirements. Your audiobook will be reviewed through our quality system with quicker publishing times. If any issues are found, you and your producer will receive a notification with details about what needs to be corrected. 

Note: if any issues are found during this process, you or your Rights holder will receive a message and an email from our quality assurance team. Once you make the appropriate changes and resubmit, your title will re-enter the review queue.
