Audiobooks are having a moment - and it matters for authors.
The U.S. audiobook market hit $2.22 billion in 2024, up 13% from the year before.
More than half of Americans have now listened to an audiobook, and new listeners are joining every day.
This isn’t just about convenience. It’s about how people prefer to experience stories.
From daily routines to long drives, audiobooks fit into modern life in ways print and e-books can’t always match.
For authors, that means new reach and new readers - or rather, listeners.
🎧 Fiction is leading the way, with Romance up 30%, Children’s & YA up 26%, and Sci-Fi/Fantasy up 21%.
Whether you’re planning your first audiobook or reviewing your existing one, now’s the time to make sure your story is ready for this growing audience.
