The finalists for the Audie Awards are here!

On Jan. 22, the Audio Publishers Association announced the finalist list for the 30th annual Audie Awards. The awards are the premier awards program for distinction in audiobooks and spoken-word entertainment, per a statement shared with PEOPLE.

This year’s ceremony will be hosted by Emmy-nominated actress and author Amy Sedaris on March 4 in New York, where winners across 28 categories will be revealed. 

“I’m absolutely thrilled to be hosting the 30th Annual Audie Awards this year,” Sedaris said in a statement. “It’s such an honor to celebrate audiobooks and the many talented voices involved — especially since mine is usually reserved for explaining how to glue things together or reading instructions on soup cans.”

The categories for the Audie Awards include genres like fiction and nonfiction, as well as specific categories like multi-voice performances and narrations by the authors themselves.

“As we celebrate the 30th anniversary of the Audie Awards, we’re reflecting on three decades of honoring the incredible talent and innovation within the audiobook industry,” said Audio Publishers Association President Sean McManus.

“This year’s finalists represent the very best in storytelling, and we couldn’t be more excited to celebrate their achievements. We’re also thrilled to have Amy Sedaris as our host — her wit, charm and unmistakable sense of humor will bring a unique spark to the evening. It’s a perfect match for an event that celebrates the art of voice and performance, and we can't wait for everyone to join us in this special celebration!”
