Audie Award-Winning Audiobooks!


APA HONORS THE YEAR’S BEST AUDIOBOOKS AT
14th ANNUAL AUDIES GALA IN NEW YORK CITY

The Audio Publishers Association (APA) announced the winners of the 2009 Audies® at a formal Gala at the New-York Historical Society on May 29th in New York City. The Audies are the only awards program in the United States honoring spoken word entertainment. The Audies -- often considered the Oscars® of the audiobook industry — were awarded in 29 categories.

The Audiobook of the Year Audie went to The Graveyard Book, written and read by Neil Gaiman in recognition for its combination of original musical composition, superb production, and effective social media marketing.

Gaiman was there to accept the award, and in fact was on Twitter throughout the Gala, keeping his fans abreast of the awards. The Graveyard Book also won the Audie Award for "Children's Titles – Ages 8-12." He posted this comment on his blog: "People ask whether winning awards means anything when you've already won, and sometimes it means more and sometimes it means less. But The Graveyard Book winning Audiobook of the Year means more that I can say."

Curse of the Blue Tattoo: Being an Account of the Misadventures of Jacky Faber, Midshipman and Fine Lady, written by L.A. Meyer and read by Katherine Kellgren, received the newly-created Distinguished Achievement in Production Award for its excellent production quality. This new award recognizes a production that represents the best the format has to offer in listening excellence. This production also won Audies in the "Solo Narration – Female" and "Teens" categories. Narrator Kellgren and Producer Alisa Webermann were astonished and delighted at winning three awards!
