Time sure flies when you’re having fun!

The Audio Publishers Association announced the finalists for the 2022 Audie Awards this week and we can’t believe it’s already been a year since we were last talking about these. Even more incredible, Deyan Audio is super proud to say we helped produce 8 of the nominees this year and we’d like to send a huge THANK YOU to all involved.

To the narrators, thank you for your tireless work bringing these stories to life and for working with our team through the inevitable ups and downs of life to make sure we create a stellar production.

To the publishers, thank you for the trust you place in us and for the honor of being involved with some truly incredible audiobooks.

There’s no denying that audiobook production is very much a team effort and we thank our excellent editors, QCers, directors, engineers, and project managers as well. Audio production can be full of complexities and potential setbacks, and the need to function with great attention to detail on tight timelines is constant. We truly appreciate the long hours put in across the board.

We produce audiobooks because we love them and we think they are an important form of entertainment and education in today’s world. We’d do it all day, every day regardless but nevertheless, it's nice when hard work is recognized. Thank you once more to all involved and we look forward to producing many more amazing stories in the coming months.
