The Audio Agency and Arcturus Publishing have embarked on a new co-production scheme to enable more incredible non-fiction to be published in audio!
The deal comprises an initial five titles from Arcturus's backlist. The first to publish, on 14 December 2023, are Cat Tales: True Stories of Fantastic Felines and Dog Tales: True Stories of Heroic Hounds by Penelope Rich (ages 5+). Both are narrated by Fran Burgoyne, and available on Spotify, Xigxag, Apple Books, and many more platforms.
These collections are perfect for animal lovers, and for any kids who've earned a pet for Christmas!
Two titles from Arcturus's ongoing series, Curious Kids, will publish in Spring 2024. Physics for Curious Kids by Laura Baker and Chemistry for Curious Kids by Lynn Huggins-Cooper (ages 9+) are read by James Macnaughton.
These titles are truly unique in the strength of their narrative non-fiction voice, given the complexity of the topics, and they answer an urgent need for scientifc concepts to be made more accessible in different formats.
A fifth title, 101 Awesome Women Who Changed the World by Julia Adams (ages 6+) will also publish Spring 2024.
