Spotlight on HarperCollins’ collection of new fiction authors
On the home screen of the app this month, you’ll find a new collection of audiobooks in the Spotlight. We’re calling it Spring Debuts and it was curated in partnership with our amazing partners at HarperCollins.
In it, we highlight new and upcoming fiction authors whose first audiobooks are definitely worth a go. We’re super excited to bring some much needed attention to these gems!
Prepare to be swept away by a diverse range of genres, from heart-wrenching historical fiction to laugh-out-loud rom-coms, and pulse-pounding thrillers. Dive into the world of captivating characters, narrated by talented voices who bring these stories to life with every word.
Grab your headphones, step into the sunshine (or snuggle up by a crackling fire?), and get ready to be enthralled by the latest literary stars in the making.

And the best bit? All of these titles are x-books – or will be when they publish.
The x-book® is our accessible listen-and-read format, which combines the magic of the audiobook with the functionality of an ebook. It’s exclusive to xigxag and enables the most flexible book consumption experience in the market: listen on the go, switch to reading at home, or listen-and-read at the same time. The x-book® allows users to see the illustrations, lookup words, search in the audiobook, take notes and share quotes – all while continuing to listen. The x-book® makes independent reading possible for those who struggle with traditional reading, and helps everyone enjoy more books.
