Audie Award for Autobiography or Memoir

The Audie Award for Autobiography or Memoir is one of the Audie Awards presented annually by the Audio Publishers Association (APA). It awards excellence in narration, production, and content for an audiobook autobiography or memoir released in a given year. It has been awarded since 2015 when it was broken apart, along with the Audie Award for History or Biography, from the Audie Award for Biography or Memoir (awarded since 2003).
