Making non-fiction come alive or Crafting immersive non-fiction audio experiences that surprise, captivate and linger

Loftus abridges the non-fiction books everyone’s talking about or about to talk about and works with some of the most exciting writers around to create original and thought-provoking non-fiction for audio.

With over 25 years’ experience producing audiobooks and original non fiction for BBC Radio 4 and beyond, we celebrate extraordinary personal stories and remarkable tales of the world around us.

Acclaimed readers and actors such as Susannah Harker, Diana Quick, Tamsin Greig, Tuppence Middleton and Adrian Lukis and sometimes the authors themselves, bring these stories to life for the listener with a skilful blend of word and sound.

From Robert Macfarlane’s Is a River Alive?, Lara Estemirova’s memoir Please Live, and Leila Slimani’s essays In the Land of the Other about belonging, to Booker Prize-winner Arundhati Roy’s personal story Mother Mary Comes to Me, we craft immersive audio experiences that surprise, captivate, and linger.
