Storytel and bestselling author Anthony Horowitz creates new adventures with Sherlock Holmes for Storytel Original

An exclusive agreement between Storytel and The Conan Doyle Estate gives Storytel the privilege of developing completely new stories in all formats featuring the world’s most iconic and loved detective. The adventures will be written by a team of writers under the creative lead of award winning novelist and screenwriter Anthony Horowitz.

“This is going to be Sherlock Holmes from a very different perspective, staying true to the spirit of the books – which I have always loved –  but expanding the narrative and the vision of Conan Doyle in all sorts of unexpected ways. I’m excited to be collaborating with Storytel who has a huge worldwide audience. For me this project is an adventure in itself” says Anthony Horowitz.

The scripted series will be written by a team of writers under the creative lead of Anthony Horowitz and Storytel’s Executive Producer Søren Vestergaard for release on all Storytel markets from Spring 2022. Discussions with potential partners for print publishing, film/tv and other formats are ongoing. For inquiries, please contact the agency. 

Storytel partners with Spotify

During autumn  2021, Storytel subscribers will be able to listen to audiobooks in Spotify by linking their subscriptions. 

The partnership with Spotify enhances Storytel’s distribution and accentuates our vision of making the world a more creative and empathetic place by making stories accessible to anyone, anywhere and at any time. In practise, the partnership means that consumers who sign up for a Storytel subscription will be able to enjoy a world of stories and audiobooks not only via the Storytel platform but also on Spotify.

“We want everyone to have access to great stories, and today Storytel offers more than 500,000 audiobooks on a global basis across 25 markets,” says Jonas Tellander, founder and CEO, Storytel. “Partnering with Spotify makes amazing audiobook experiences and exciting authorships easier than ever to access for our customers, while we will also be tapping into the opportunity of reaching new audiences who are on Spotify today, but have not yet experienced the magic of audiobooks.”
