Sarah Everts, Carleton University’s CTV Chair in Digital Science Journalism, has won a prestigious Audie Award for the audio version of her book, The Joy of Sweat.
The Audie Awards, commonly referred to as the Audies, honor the best titles in audio publishing at an annual gala awards ceremony. The awards have been described as the Oscars of the audiobook world.
This year’s Audie Awards Gala was held virtually on Mar. 4, where Everts took home the non-fiction prize. She was nominated alongside a number of notable authors including Sebastian Junger, David Pittu, Dr. Jen Gunter, Michael Lewis and Michael Pollan. Other Audie winners include Barack Obama, Stephen King and Lin Manuel Miranda.
“I was overjoyed that the Joy of Sweat was nominated for an Audie, especially along with authors I really admire. But to win – honestly, I’m totally floored,” Everts said.
