How to publish an AI-narrated audiobook on StreetLib

The short answer

Not stated, so ask first. StreetLib takes audiobooks you produce yourself, but neither of the pages we read addresses AI narration directly.

StreetLib's content guidelines say it may block books created using AI or automated processes that are not correctly categorised in the product-sheet metadata.

What to disclose

Categorise any AI use with the metadata in the product sheet, and fill in the narrator field, which StreetLib makes mandatory.

Who keeps the master

You — you upload your own finished files.

How to publish it

1. 01

   Ask StreetLib first

   Neither StreetLib page we read addresses AI narration directly, so confirm with StreetLib before you narrate a whole book for it.

2. 02

   Export the chapters as MP3 tracks

   StreetLib's audiobook specification asks for individual MP3 tracks, numbered in reading order, with a separate preview.

3. 03

   Categorise the AI use in the product sheet

   StreetLib may block AI-created books that are not correctly categorised in the product-sheet metadata, so declare it there.

4. 04

   Fill in the narrator field

   StreetLib makes the narrator field mandatory. Make it clear the narration is synthesized.
