Creator Q&A
Tell us about yourself
I'm a mother of two little gremlins, Eli and Hazel and we live in our rainforest home in Sydney! I write children's books and stories, and each Nana Hannah is written and narrated by myself, with the purpose of sharing friendly and soothing stories to help little ones drift off to sleep.
What inspired you to make this title(s)?
After both my kids had trouble sleeping, I thought I would try recording a story and adding some soothing music and white noise - this was where Nana Hannah was born! I shared the tracks with friends and family who's kids loved them too, and it's grown into a beautiful community of parents who now have a much easier put down routine!

Who do you imagine listening to your audio?
Children from 0 - 10 years old will love these friendly and soothing stories.
Is there anything different about making audio for Yoto?
My children absolutely love their Yoto player, and are so excited to be able to control which tracks they listen to! They've learnt so much from Yoto cards and it is an honour to be able to share my own stories through Yoto.
What’s next?
New episodes of Nana Hannah are released on my podcast, and I'll be sharing more stories through Yoto soon! I also have a children's book called Toffee Puddle hitting shelves in October 2025.
New to Yoto?
Our carefully connected speakers put kids in control of their listening, learning and play. No cameras. No microphones. No ads.
Creator FAQs
Who are the Creators?
Our Creators are independent makers of music and spoken word content for children and families. Some have established audiences in other places, while others are beginning their audio publishing journey with Yoto. We put out a public call to join this initiative at the start of 2024.
Each of our creators have their own Creator Profiles where you can read more about them and their cards. Just click on their name on their card store page to find out more.
How can I become a Creator?
If you are just starting out, you might first choose to share your digital content for free in the Open Mic section of our community site Yoto Space, where you can start building an audience and get feedback from friendly enthusiasts.
Learn how to make a great Yoto Card by reading our Yoto Creator Guidelines. Learn about what makes the Yoto format unique, and how to create a really engaging and successful title that children will love.
If you're ready to start selling your content on Yoto, you can register your interest.
Can I learn more about Creator content before purchasing?
Yes, each card has an extended audio preview so you can listen to a representative sample before making a purchase. You can also read more about a card's creator by clicking on their name on the card page.
How is this different from the free audio on Yoto Space?
Open Mic on Yoto Space is where we nurture those creators who may be just starting out or wanting to experiment with a new title. It's a friendly community where they have space to share content for free, build an audience and get feedback. We are delighted to see several creators make the leap from there to become Creators on the Yoto Store, where they can now monetise their work.
What do I do if I don't like a card that I've purchased?
If it simply isn't to your taste, purchases are covered by our usual returns policy. If you believe a title breaks our Creators Content Guidelines, please report it.
Are more Creators cards being added to the collection?
Yes, more titles and more creators will be added over the coming months.
