Clipper Short Story

What are they?

Clipper ShortStory is a new and exciting collection of bitesized unabridged audio titles. This growing imprint is part of Clipper Audio’s continuing policy of making the unabridged audio format accessible to an ever-wider audience.

At typically 1-2 cassettes or discs per title, ShortStory is the perfect introduction to the format and the competitive price will enable libraries to stock a complete range of titles. Written by some of the best-known names in contemporary writing, ShortStory is sure to attract new and existing audio users.

Who are they for?

With contemporary fiction, crime, romance, memoir, poetry and non-fiction all represented, ShortStory has something for everyone. The range will particularly attract listeners who want to absorb a complete book, but have little time or perhaps a short concentration span.

Whatever their reason for choosing ShortStory, they are guaranteed an audio experience which will leave them looking for more.

What are the benefits?

For the listener, the opportunity to savour different styles and genres with a minimum time commitment. For libraries, the many benefits of ShortStory include:

  • Accessibility: short, concise titles will attract new users to the format, with beneficial effects on full-length audio collections.
  • Price: short duration titles at competitive prices enables the full range to be stocked, well within budgets.
  • Literacy: an ideal product for adult literacy campaigns.
  • Growth: a growing list which will encourage users to return for more, again and again.
  • Profile: backed with a range of posters and publicity materials to help promote the collection across libraries.
