The Audie Award for Fiction is one of the Audie Awards presented annually by the Audio Publishers Association (APA). It awards excellence in narration, production, and content for a fiction audiobook released in a given year, typically to the exclusion of speculative fiction. Before 2008 the award was given as the Audie Award for Unabridged Fiction. It has been awarded since 1996.
