Presented by: Recorded Books & Library Journal
On February 6, the Audio Publishers Association revealed the nominees for the 21st-annual Audie Awards competition, with winners scheduled to be announced at an awards gala in Chicago on May 11.
While the Oscars, Grammys and Tony Awards enjoy widespread popularity among the general public, few outside the audiobook industry are as familiar with the Audies. And even fewer understand what constitutes an Audie Award–winning audiobook.
On March 16, you can join a panel of Audie-nominated narrators for what promises to be a lively discussion about the process for creating an award-winning recording. The narrators will also speculate on who might win the awards in May and look back on past winners to determine how those audiobooks have stood the test of time. Panelists will also take questions from the audience, time permitting.
Panelists
Tavia Gilbert received two nominations this year, including a nomination in the Nonfiction category for her work on I Wasn’t Strong Like This When I Started Out, edited by Lee Gutkind. Ms. Gilbert has been previously recognized with six past Audie nominations and a 2015 Voice Arts Award for How to Bake Pi by Eugenia Cheng, another nonfiction production.
Tim Gerard Reynolds was recognized this year with three nominations, including one in the Science Fiction category for Golden Son by Pierce Brown. In past years, Mr. Reynolds has also received nominations from both the Audies and Voice Arts Awards.
Simon Vance was honored this year with two Audie nominations. Because his recording of In Search of Sir Thomas Browne by Hugh Aldersey-Williams won the 2015 Voice Arts Award in November, Mr. Vance is an odds-on favorite for the History/Biography category. His impressive showing of 38 previous Audie nominations and 13 wins should also bolster his position for claiming another Audie Award.
