Millie's Library Releases Audiobooks of Brunch Book Award Winners

Reading platform Millie’s Library (CEO Seo Young-taek) is set to release a large number of audiobooks based on 20 original book contents discovered through the ‘Brunch Book eBook Publishing Project.’

Millie’s Library will unveil the 20 award-winning works from the Brunch Book eBook Publishing Project in two batches of 10 titles each, first on the 2nd and then on the 23rd. These works were originally published as original eBooks on Millie’s Library through last year’s Brunch Book eBook Publishing Project and received high praise from many readers. Millie’s Library is showcasing more diverse and new forms of reading content by utilizing original content. The total 20 audiobooks released in two rounds this month cover various fields including self-development, business management, essays, and novels.

The audiobooks being released this time are characterized by maximizing auditory enjoyment through distinctive features such as AI voices, professional voice actor multi-casting, and author participation, depending on the content. Author Lee Seung-yong participated in the production of the audiobook for The Dignity of Nonsense, and actor Jo Jung-suk’s voice was implemented as an AI voice in The Life of a Video Kid. The bestselling novel that gained attention and was published as a paper book following word-of-mouth after being published as an eBook on Millie’s Library, Welcome to Hyunamdong Bookstore, the story of a cafe startup by an office worker Mom Told Me to Sell Towels at the Cafe, and the exchange essay between mother and daughter You Have Many Dreams and I Have Many Thoughts all include various sound effects and multi-casting of voice actors for each character to add vividness.

Kim Tae-hyung, Head of Content at Millie’s Library, said, “After the award-winning works of the Brunch Book Project were published as eBooks and recorded high completion rates, members showed great interest, leading to the rebirth of these works as secondary content beyond physical paper books into audiobooks. Millie’s Library plans to offer various forms of reading content based on original IP so that everyone can experience a lifestyle closer to books and ‘1Milli’ tailored to their own lifestyles.”
