DIGITAL & AUDIO PUBLISHING
FKB helps publishers prepare new releases and backlists for digital release—coordinating EPUB conversion, audio production, metadata alignment, and global distribution across retail, library, and subscription channels.
E-book Services: We assist publishers with manuscript and print file conversion into industry-standard reflowable or fixed-layout EPUB3 files, verifying layout structure, navigation, and display across major reading devices and digital distribution routes.
Audiobook Services: For existing audio masters, FKB handles format verification, metadata preparation, and channel distribution. For selected audiobook projects, FKB also coordinates narrator selection, studio recording, editing, mastering, and final delivery.
