W. F. Howes toasts Jojo Moyes success with new audio editions of 13 classics

Fresh recordings, powerful narrator line-ups and stunning visual identity to help bring treasured author’s novels to new audiences

W. F. Howes, RBmedia’s U.K. publishing brand, has signed a renewal agreement with bestselling novelist Jojo Moyes and will release new versions of some of her most iconic titles in audio, including Me Before You, The Girl You Left Behind and The Last Letter From Your Lover.

The major renewal deal, which strengthens Jojo Moyes’ and W. F. Howes’ longstanding publishing partnership, will see 13 of the author’s classic backlist titles re-recorded and made available alongside the publisher’s existing editions.

Designed to appeal to both existing fans and new listeners who are yet to discover Moyes’ critically-acclaimed writing, the new collection will also feature a distinctive visual identity, with eye-catching, modern covers created by award-winning illustrator Holly Ovenden. 

From single and dual narrations to multicast productions, the new audiobooks will be brought to life by a stellar cast of narrators, featuring Laura Haddock (Guardians of the Galaxy, The Capture), Sabrina Bartlett (Bridgerton, Poldark), Poppy Corby-Tuech (Fantastic Beasts, The Collection) and Tamsin Topolski (Slow Horses, The Gold).

One of the U.K.’s most successful novelists, Jojo Moyes’ novels have been translated into 46 languages, hit the number one spot in 12 countries and sold over 60 million copies worldwide. She is one of very few authors to win the Romantic Novel of the Year Award twice, and her bestseller Me Before You was adapted into a major film starring Sam Claflin and Emilia Clarke.

Jojo Moyes said: “I am delighted to extend my long working relationship with W. F. Howes with these revitalised audiobooks. Audio always adds a whole new dimension to the storytelling experience and I’m excited to hear how the new titles sound.”

Laura Smith, Acquisitions Manager at W. F. Howes, renewed the UK and Commonwealth audio rights with Sheila Crowley of Curtis Brown. She said: “It’s been 20 years since we first published Jojo Moyes and embarked on an incredible journey together. Over the years, it has been such an inspiration to observe how listeners engage with her emotionally-charged storytelling and brilliant character portrayals, returning to her books time and time again. These new audio editions aim to honour Jojo’s remarkable legacy, bringing her existing fans a new take on what they’ve grown to love, while introducing her stories to a new listenership, who I’m sure will be equally captivated.” 

The new Jojo Moyes audio editions will be released throughout 2026, beginning in June.
