03 June 09
Alexander McCall Smith’s latest serial novel, Corduroy Mansions, published in daily instalments on the Telegraph website, has won the prestigious Association of Online Publishers Digital Publishing Awards 09 – Cross Media Project. The award was announced in a ceremony last night in London’s Old Billingsgate.
The project was a collaboration between publishers Polygon and Little, Brown and the Telegraph newspaper to publish Corduroy Mansions online in 100 daily episodes and actor Andrew Sachs, who read the downloadable audio versions.
Corduroy Mansions is set in London’s Pimlico and features the hugely entertaining comings and goings of the residents of a mansion block there. It will be published as a hardback book by Polygon in August and appear as an audiobook published by Little, Brown at the same time. A second series of Corduroy Mansions will appear on the Telegraph website beginning in September 2009.
"I am delighted that Corduroy Mansions has won this award,” said Alexander, “I feel the whole project has been handled extremely well by the Telegraph, and I enjoyed the whole thing immensely."
