Landover, MD, August 31, 2021. RBmedia, the largest audiobook producer in the world, today announced an exclusive partnership with romance publisher Entangled Publishing, recently named one of Publisher Weekly's 2021 fast-growing independent publishers. Through this agreement, the company will add audio editions of the Entangled titles to its sizable romance catalog over the next three years—including "Charm" by Tracy Wolff, "Stealing Infinity" by New York Times bestselling author Alyson Noël, and "The Queen Is Dead," the first in a new trilogy from Abigail Owen.

Entangled Publishing is a women-owned publisher of romantic fiction, specializing in both the adult and young adult markets. Entangled publishes across more than a dozen imprints, including Amara, Sideways, Entangled Teen, and Embrace.

Lee, Tawna Fenske, and Naima Simone.

"In its first five years, Entangled Publishing went from a start-up to the powerhouse romance publisher they are today," said Troy Juliar, Chief Content Officer for RBmedia. "Liz and her team are savvy marketers who continue to break the traditional publishing mold. We are thrilled to start our partnership and bring Entangled titles to audio and a whole new audience."
