Storytel operates with two internal publishing entities: Storyside and Storytel Books.
Storyside: Our digital audio publishing house
Storyside operates as a digital audio publishing house, securing audio rights from third parties while also creating Original Audio Content. Today Storyside offers a total of almost 50,000 audiobooks in 38 languages.
Storytel Originals stand out as a key differentiating factor for us. Many of our Storytel Originals generate significant media attention and bolster our ability to attract new users. Since 2016, we’ve been creating Storytel Originals, and will continue doing so going forward. In 2023 alone, we launched approximately 300 new Storytel originals.
