Spotify Adds More than a Thousand New Audiobooks for Listeners
Spotify recently announced that it was adding more than 1,000 new audiobooks to its library, further expanding its already-massive catalogue of audiobooks. The new titles come by way of a new Bloomsbury, one of the largest publishers in the United Kingdom.
This includes a wide selection of titles from authors including Sarah J. Maas, William Dalrymple, Alan Moore, Madeline Miller, Dan Jones, Samantha Shannon, and Ann Patchett (to nae a few), with narrations from familiar voices such as Meryl Streep, Emilia Clarke, Adjoa Andoh, and Jamie Lee Curtis. Duncan Bruce, Director of Audiobook Partnerships and Licensing at Spotify comments:
As we celebrate the one-year anniversary of Audiobooks in Premium, there’s no better way to build on our momentum than with the addition of Bloomsbury’s beloved library… This partnership allows us to expand our author lineup and give listeners an even wider array of titles to enjoy, taking us another step forward in our goal of reimagining the audiobook experience.
A few months ago, Spotify also entered into a partnership with Ingram Content Group that saw the arrival of audiobooks over 100 publishers, which include entries from Europa Editions, Milkweed Editions, G&D Media, Bard Press, and New Society Publishers.
