"Exactly What to Say: The Magic Words for Influence and Impact”
After much frustration in trying to get my audio book onto sales platforms, I was lucky enough to be referred to Lantern Audio, and Kevin Stillwell. Kevin made the whole process quick and easy. I did have to revise files in order to meet the requirements of all the platforms, however Kevin worked with the audio file producer who made the changes and all files were able to be uploaded. In addition, I did not know that I needed to get an eBook created, which I was able to do easily through IngramSpark where my book was, and Kevin guided me through that process as well. I did have a few more steps to go than I thought, but his direction and ability to work with my narrator made it a breeze. I would recommend Lantern Audio and Kevin to anyone who needs his services. Thanks Kevin!

From my first interaction with Lantern Audio, I knew we were talking to the right people and ultimately chose the right partner. Lantern was recommended to our company by another motivational speaker who recently began working with this group; nothing but great things to say. Lantern was easy to work with, extremely responsive, and created a custom landing page for bulk audiobook orders that we can share with our clients as they consider supplying a copy of Fearless Success to each attendee. The Lantern team has some of the best in the industry and I cherish their partnership.

I had a fantastic experience recording my audiobook with Lantern Audio. Kevin Stillwell and his great team did a phenomenal job guiding me through the entire process and provided top-notch sound editing and support. They really made me feel like my book – published via an independent hybrid model instead of with a traditional publishing house - was a top priority. If you are looking to produce a stellar audiobook that connects with listeners, I highly recommend partnering with them.

As a first-time author who had never done an audiobook, I was a bit cautious about executing this task. What fears & trepidations that I might have had were swiftly eliminated by the professionalism, compassion and technical proficiency of the Lantern Audio team. Kevin Stillwell is a consummate executive, runs a tight ship and has assembled an impressive team of engineers and recording artists to make this audiobook recording experience flawless and enjoyable. I highly recommend LanternAudio and look forward to doing it again once the next book is completed!
