Steve tells lots of stories...

With over two hundred and fifty titles and upward of twenty awards and nominations for excellence in narration, Steve has become one of the most notable British audiobook narrators around. 

 

His work has covered many celebrated authors, including Mann Booker Prize winner Michael Ondaatje (Warlight), Stephen Hawking (The Grand Design), Richard Branson (Finding My Virginity), and award-winning YA superstars Megan Whalen Turner (The Queen's Thief series), Sabaa Tahir (An Ember In The Ashes series) and Laini Taylor (Strange The Dreamer & Muse Of Nightmares).

 

He also voices each & every one of international bestselling writer Martha Grimes' wild & wonderful characters in the Richard Jury Murder Mystery Series (twenty five books and counting).

 

Steve is 100% in on the story. Whether that means quiet restraint in Literary Fiction, measured authority in Non-fiction, or a full ensemble of distinct, believable characters across genre work, the aim is to make listeners completely immerse themselves in the moment.

What PEople say about Steve

“West guides listeners through the many heartrending close calls and battles for survival. Entertaining yet incredible emotional…a master class in audiobook narration.”
- Audiofile Magazine
"West is just as convincing when providing the voice of a hip owner of the art gallery as he is in rendering the cool and confident cabbie who knows the streets of London backwards and forwards. West's mastery of Grimes's wit, twisting plot and zany characters will keep listeners hooked from start to finish.”
- Publishers Weekly
