Audie Award for Literary Fiction or Classics
The Audie Award for Literary Fiction or Classics is one of the Audie Awards presented annually by the Audio Publishers Association (APA). It awards excellence in narration, production, and content for an audiobook adaptation released in a given year of a work of literary fiction or a classic. Before 2016 this was given as two distinct awards, the Audie Award for Classics (awarded since 2001, before 2003 as the Audie Award for Classics, Fiction) and the Audie Award for Literary Fiction (awarded since 2005).
