Recorded Books has announced a new nonfiction imprint, ITK Audio (In the Know Audio). ITK Audio will focus mainly on titles in history, biography and memoir with an eye toward selecting “works of authors who are respected for the quality and originality of their work and that will likely be considered as relevant” years from now as they are today. The imprint will avoid political and sensational bestsellers whose appeal are likely to fade quickly.
Two titles already picked for the imprint, available December 15, are When Everything Changed: The Amazing Journey of American Women from 1960 to the Present, by Gail Collins; and The Clinton Tapes: Wrestling History with the President, by Taylor Branch. Recorded Books plans to release three audiobooks per quarter under ITK.
