Production on a new season of audio titles is well under way, and we’ve selected some highlights from publishers’ latest lists. Overall, 2014 was another year of growth in the industry, with many publishers reporting both increased title output and increased sales. That momentum is reflected in the range of spring recordings, which run the gamut of genres. Debut fiction, short story collections, mysteries and thrillers, and memoirs (the latter two being perennial audio heavyweights) have big presences again. As in the print world, titles inspired by social media celebrities are faring well in audio, too. And the children’s and YA categories continue to blossom, with publishers offering new authors, formats, and series in the category. We hope you’ll discover something that appeals, as the snow melts and you look ahead to road trips, gardening, and outdoor workouts this spring. Happy Listening!
