Featured Work — Book Commercials
Your book, brought to life on screen
A great cover makes a reader stop. A commercial makes them feel the story before they've read a single page — and feeling is what sells books.
The Eight Black Rose Petals commercial
This is what Nique does with a book: she takes its world off the page and puts it on screen. For Eight Black Rose Petals, she concepted, directed and edited a multi-scene cinematic spot — a reader so absorbed in the book that orchestras, weather and whole worlds move around her — finished on the book's own "Available Now" card.
- Concept, direction and edit by Nique
- Full sound design — press play and listen
- Built for the feeds where readers actually scroll
Your book can have this too. Add Book Trailers & Promo Videos to your package and Nique will build your story the commercial it deserves.

Eight Black Rose Petals — Proof of Work
The commercial
The cinematic spot playing right above this block — the finished work, not a mockup. Concept, direction, edit and full sound design by Nique.
The concept
A reader so absorbed in the book that orchestras, weather and whole worlds move around her — and she never looks up. The commercial doesn't just describe the book's pull; it shows it happening.
The website
The book's home on the web: EightBlackRosePetals.com — where the eight stories, the book and the Black Rose Society live.
Produced by Nique
Editor, narrator & producer — Somnara Creations
Priced to fit the tiers — the numbers check out
- Every add-on is $35–$129 (the two custom-quote services are priced by word count or project, in writing) — always less than the $200 step from one tier to the next ($300 → $500 → $700), so topping up a tier costs less than upgrading it.
- Bundled always beats separate. A book trailer is $99 on its own — but one commercial is already included in Full Story ($500) and two are included in Full Book ($700). If your tier already includes a service, you won’t be charged for it twice in your final quote.
- Building small stays small. Two or three add-ons — say a blurb ($35), ebook conversion ($49) and a beta read ($45) — total $129, well under the $300 Basic tier. And if your custom picks ever add up past a tier that covers them, Nique will point you to that tier instead of letting you overpay.
No service matches that search — but if your book needs it, ask. Use the Custom Request and describe it, and we'll tell you honestly if we can build it.
The Numbers
What a finished book walks into
This is the market waiting on the other side of production — real figures from the industry’s own research, and what each one means for a book that shows up edited, narrated, formatted and launched.

Our Specialty
Audiobooks that sound like the story feels
Two voices. One standard: zero defects.
Every minute is quality-checked before it reaches you — no glitching, no awkward pauses, punctuation read the way it was written, so a comma never sounds like a period.
The women's voice
Smooth, smoky and intimate — for heroines who carry the story.
▶ Press play — hear the women's voice (25 sec)
The men's voice
Grounded and unhurried — for narrators who talk like real men talk.
▶ Press play — hear the men's voice (21 sec)
Proof of Work
One book. Every service on this page.
Before we sold any of this, we did all of it — for a real book, with a real author, end to end. This is the production your book would get.

- Chaptered M4B audiobook with bookmarks, so listeners resume where they left off
- Reading edition laid out double-spaced with continuous story flow and a clickable table of contents

Before We Start
Three quick questions
Tell us what kind of book you're bringing, where it is right now, and when you're ready to move. There are no wrong answers.
Question 1 of 3
What kind of book are you bringing me?
Romance is our home ground, and the steamier the better — but if your book is something else entirely, or you're still figuring out what it wants to be, you're welcome here too. Tell us what you're working with.
Question 2 of 3
Where is your book right now?
Still shaping the idea? Midway through a first draft? Polishing a finished one, or bringing a published book back for a relaunch? Tell us where you're starting from, so we meet you there — not ahead of you or behind you.
Question 3 of 3
When are you ready to move?
Ready to start today, planning a few months out, or just researching for now? Every timeline is welcome — pick the one that fits you, so we can plan honestly around it.
Questions
Before you ask
Do I keep the rights to my book and audiobook?
Yes — 100%. Your book, your audiobook, your files. We produce them; you own them outright, including every right to sell, distribute or license them however you choose. Nothing on this page comes with a rights grab, ever.
Will the narration change my wording or soften my dialect?
No. Your wording, dialect and pronunciations stay exactly as you wrote them — that's the standard the whole studio runs on. Before a full read, we build a pronunciation guide with you for names, places and any word that has to land a specific way.
Can I hear a sample before committing to a full audiobook?
Yes — the first tier starts your whole book for $300, and every production includes samples and approval stages before final files. You'll never pay for a full book sight unseen; you'll hear your opening in the voice first and approve it.
My book is longer than a package's word count. What happens?
Nothing scary, and no surprises: the first tier covers your first 30,000 words for $300, then it's +$5 for every extra 2,500 words — plain math you can check yourself. Editing is quoted by word count in writing before any work starts. The price you approve is the price you pay.
What do you need from me to start?
Your manuscript file, your word count, and your answers to the three fit-check questions above. If we're narrating, we'll also ask how you hear your main characters. That's enough to confirm your quote and timeline — then we produce, and you approve at each stage.
Do you work with adult and erotic fiction?
Yes — romance, erotic and dark romance are our home ground, and we handle adult material professionally and without judgment. The one rule we hold is the platforms' own rule: sales copy and marketing we write stays within each platform's content guidelines, so your listings never get flagged.
