“We are delighted to introduce Storytel to Singapore. Singaporeans love a good book but are increasingly finding it difficult to read due to a lack of time and other commitments. Storytel aims to bridge that gap by offering instant access, anytime and anywhere,” said Shalu Wasu, Country Manager, Storytel Singapore. “Motivated by a desire to learn constantly and maximize efficiency through multitasking, Singaporeans can now make full use of each moment, be it travel time or time spent waiting, with Storytel.”

To add local flavour, Storytel will feature a shelf of titles by local authors through partnerships with homegrown publishers like Marshall Cavendish, Epigram and Armour Publishing. Storytel will also work with authors to produce local narrations as exclusive content.

Working closely with the local publishing ecosystem in Singapore, Storytel will support local authors and publishers in their quest to find new audiences and revenue streams.

“I am genuinely thrilled to be working with Storytel. It is the first time that an audiobook platform will be working so closely with authors in Singapore. Storytel is a welcome and timely boost for the local literary scene, from authors to publishers,” said Neil Humphreys, one of Singapore’s best-selling authors.

The goal for Storytel is to become the go-to destination for audiobook consumers in Singapore and for it to be a launchpad for future expansion into the region. Storytel aims to grow its 800,000 global subscribers significantly and to continually add to the colourful collection of stories every week.
