"It feels great to be able to shine a spotlight on the creative minds behind some of the strong stories that influence, change, and entertain us every day," says Jonas Tellander, founder and CEO of Storytel. In the autumn, Storytel Awards will also be held in the Netherlands, and the ambition is for the awards to be launched in more countries as the audiobook phenomenon grows. Both audiobooks are part of the series about Jana Berzelius. Emelie Schepp won the prize for best crime novel in both countries, but with different books: Nio Liv (Nine Lives) in Sweden and Prio ett (Illvirki) (Top Priority (Evil)) in Iceland.

Swedish crime author Emelie Schepp received two awards: one in Sweden and one in Iceland. In addition to a record-high number of public votes for Storytel Awards in all four countries where the gala is arranged locally, this year's big news is that a winner, for the first time in the history of the prize, managed to win an award in two countries. Around 130,000 Nordic audiobook listeners voted for their favourites - more than double compared to last year - and the winners are. Storytel Awards is the Nordic region's largest audiobook award, and the local competitions are now closed in Sweden, Finland, Denmark and Iceland.
