How to keep text to speech running in background/when screen is off

Hello,

I've been trying to figure out an effective way to keep text to speech running in the background while perusing other apps, or even when the screen is off. I have not come across any solution on how to do this.

More specifically, I'm trying to listen to books in google play books using the text to speech option while having my phone in my pocket, or doing other things. I have a Galaxy S6.

Any leads on this would be greatly appreciated!
