BBC Audiobooks America is a leading publisher of bestselling unabridged audiobooks and full-cast dramatizations with a collection of more than 3,000 audio titles in our Sound Library,  Multi-Voiced, BBC Radio and BBC Audio imprints. We have won numerous awards including the Audio Publishers Association Audiobook of the Year Audie for The Hitchhiker’s Guide to the Galaxy: The Tertiary Phase. Roots, narrated by Avery Brooks, captured an Audie Award and a Ben Franklin Award for nonfiction audiobook in addition to being designated one of the top audiobooks of the year by Publishers Weekly and AudioFile Magazine.

BBC Audiobooks America was first located in Cape Cod, Massachusetts, as a large print publisher (Curley Publishing). Chivers Press acquired Curley Publishing , renamed it Chivers North America and moved operations to Hampton, New Hampshire where we began to publish and distribute audiobooks. In August 2001, BBC Worldwide Ltd. acquired Chivers Press, including Chivers North America. We soon became BBC Audiobooks America and continued to operate out of New Hampshire until October 2005. We now make our home in North Kingstown, Rhode Island to accommodate our continued growth.
