Hallmark Publishing is getting into audio. The company has partnered with Dreamscape Media, the publishing and entertainment arm of Midwest Tape, to produce and distribute audiobooks.

Hallmark Publishing is an e-book division of Hallmark Channel, a subsidiary of Crown Family Media Networks. The new audiobooks, in addition to Hallmark's extant collection of e-books, will be available on hoopla digital, Audible, iTunes, and Kobo beginning in February.

"As we planned our venture into audiobooks, we sought a partner who would align with our brand values, artistic vision, and commitment to quality," Hallmark Publishing director Stacey Donovan said in a statement.
