For Authors

Built for authors
who want more.

Whether you wrote a memoir, a business book, a self-help guide, or a novel, NARRA was built for authors who treat their work like a brand. Most of our clients are thought leaders, coaches, executives, and storytellers who have already done the hard work of writing. NARRA handles everything that comes after.

01 / Who We Build For

Four kinds of authors. One standard of production.

Memoir & Personal Narrative

The story only you can tell.

Memoir lives or dies on voice. A flat read kills it. We produce memoir like a film — scored, paced, and performed so the emotional through-line lands the way it did on the page. Your voice, or a cast we direct around your manuscript.

Best for: lived-experience memoir, family history, recovery, identity, immigrant stories, legacy projects.

Business & Thought Leadership

Authority you can hear.

Executives, founders, and operators don't read business books anymore — they listen on the way to the next meeting. We make sure your ideas arrive with the gravity they deserve: clean delivery, strategic emphasis, and chapter assets you can drop into a keynote, a course, or a podcast tour.

Best for: founder playbooks, leadership, strategy, finance, frameworks-and-systems nonfiction.

Self-Help, Coaching & Transformation

Your work, in their ears, every morning.

This category is won on intimacy and repetition. We engineer the listen so it earns a place in someone's daily routine — and we cut the assets (intros, exercises, audio companions, course modules) that turn one book into an entire client journey.

Best for: coaches, therapists, performance and wellness authors, frameworks for change.

Fiction With An Audience

Cast it. Score it. Release it like a season.

If your readers already exist, your audiobook is a launch event. We cast a full ensemble for your characters, direct the performances, and score the production. The result feels closer to prestige TV than a flat narration — which is what your audience is actually paying for.

Best for: series authors, indie fiction with a following, genre fiction, literary novels with strong voice.

02 / Who You Work With

David J. Rhodes built this for authors.

Co-founder David J. Rhodes has spent decades working with leaders, entrepreneurs, and published authors across 156 countries. As founder of D.D. Bliss Publishing and a published author himself, David works directly with every NARRA client — from the first conversation to the finished product.

Authors come to NARRA for the studio. They stay because of David.

"I've worked with authors at every stage — first-time memoirists, founders writing their second book, novelists with a real audience. What they have in common is that the book is never the finish line. It's the asset everything else gets built on. NARRA is what I wish had existed for every one of them."
