Hi friends,
I’ve been working on a special project behind the scenes for the past couple of months, and I’m so excited to finally get to share it with you!
Have you ever wished you could listen to Jane Austen’s original Pride and Prejudice narrated by the phenomenal Stevie Zimmerman? Well, very soon, you’ll be able to do just that! 😊
I’m thrilled to announce that my Box Hill Books edition of Pride and Prejudice is coming out in audiobook, narrated by Stevie! 🎉
Many of you will already be very familiar with Stevie’s work. She has narrated countless Pride and Prejudice variations over the years—including several of my own books—and I’ve always thought it would be wonderful to hear her bring Austen’s original characters to life. So when I began thinking about producing an audiobook for my edition of Pride and Prejudice, there was really no question about who I hoped would narrate it. And I’m so happy she said yes!
The audiobook is the complete, unabridged text of Pride and Prejudice, with Stevie giving voice to Elizabeth, Darcy, the Bennets, Bingleys, Lady Catherine, Mr. Collins, and all the other characters we know and love.
The files have officially been submitted to Audible and are currently going through their final review process, so if all goes well, the audiobook should be available very soon. I’ll be sure to share the link once it’s live. 🎧
In the meantime, to celebrate, I’m giving away three Audible copies!
If you’d like a chance to win a free audiobook code, just leave a comment below. I’ll randomly choose three winners after the audiobook is released.
It’s been so much fun working with Stevie on this project. Proofing the audio files and hearing Austen’s original words brought to life by a voice so familiar to the JAFF community has really been a thrill. And I can’t wait for all of you to get to hear it, too!
As always, a big thank you to everyone for your continued support. 🙂
Until next time,
JA
Note: Audible promo codes are available for the US and UK marketplaces, so winners will need an Audible US or UK account.

Jennifer, This is so awesome. Stevie Zimmerman is my favorite narrator for JAFF and I would love to hear her read Pride and Prejudice. –Leslie
I am so looking forward to this. When I see an audio book narrated by the incomparable Stevie Zimmerman, it is an automatic purchase for me. I have many of her JAFF books, but hearing her reading the original would be the crown jewel of my collection.
I’ve never been quite satisfied by any audio book of P&P. There’s always something not quite right. So I’ll definitely try this one out to see if it finally satisfies!
Oh my I would love to win a copy of this audiobook! I actually listen to more audiobooks now than I read. It would be wonderful to listen to this!
Brilliant idea, Jennifer! Stevie does an incredible job. How exciting!

How exciting! I can’t imagine a better narrator for our beloved P & P than our beloved Stevie! Thanks for the chance to win a copy! (US code, please)
I absolutely love the idea of Stevie Zimmerman narrating not only variations but also the original story. Congratulations to you both. Stevie is such an excellent narrator and I’m sure the audiobook will be perfect with her narrating it. I’m looking forward to listening to it (UK code please, in case I win)
Would love to listen to this!
SO EXCITED!!!! It will be one to buy!
This will be an amazing addition to my Stevie Zimmerman library!
I know Stevie’s audible titles are very popular so it’s a real treat for readers to have her reading this too.
Stevie Zimmerman is such a great choice for the audiobook! She’s so good at emphasizing the humor and wisdom of any book she narrates. Jane Austen deserves no less.
I just love your reading of Pride and Prejudice your character voices are brilliant I fall in love Mr Darcy all over again. Thank you
I would love to have an audio of this.
I would love to have an audio book of P&P!
Thank you so very much for producing an audiobook of the ORIGINAL Jane Austen Pride and Prejudice with the amazing Stevie Zimmerman as narrator! I would love a free copy but be assured — I will purchase a copy for myself and extras to give to my friends! I’ve now read over 400 P&P variations but your product will be by far the best of the best. Thank you!!
I am beyond excited for this!
Omg, with so many who want this, I’m sure I haven’t a chance, but I’ll throw my name in the proverbial hat anyway. I love Stevie’s narrations of JAFF — her narration of the OG novel will be extraordinary!
Your version of the P&P book is brilliant. I have the Kindle version and just recently treated myself to the hardback version. I will definitely add the audio book to complete my collection as I do enjoy Stevie Zimmerman’s narration.
[However currently my absolutely favourite original P&P narrator is the brilliant Rosamund Pike!]
I’d love to win a copy! Love Stevie Zimmerman!
Congratulations!
