The 2007 Audies® :
Audio Publishers Association held their 12th Annual Audies Awards, on June 1, 2007, at the Rainbow Room in New York City. The evening was hosted by Grammy and Tony Award-winning actor, Jim Dale.
If you think you aren’t familiar with Jim Dale, think again: he is the voice of the Harry Potter series of audiobooks.
Oh, and Jim didn’t just host the event, he also won in the category of Solo Narration – Male for Brilliance Audio’s Peter and the Shadow Thieves.
Michael Connelly‘s Echo Park, on Hachette Audio, took home the Best Mystery title of the year.
And one of my favorite reads (listens), The Long Tail, by Chris Anderson (on Hyperion Audiobooks) received the Business Information/Education audiobook award.
Former Designing Women star, Annie Potts, took the honor of Solo Narration – Female for Telegraph Days.
Hitchhiker‘s Guide to the Galaxy – Quintessential Phase (from the BBC Audiobooks America) placed first in the category of Audiobook Adapted from Another Medium.
These are only a handful of the awards presented at the event. For the complete list you can read the official press release, available as a pdf, off the audiopub.org site.
