About Us...
Bringing midwestern literature and authors to audio is the primary goal of Great Plains Audiobooks. Rural middle America is a unique place to live and write about. In addition, much of the central US was settled by Scandinavian immigrants, and so our secondary goal includes bringing excellent literature from there to audio as well.
We have published:
- historical fiction
-non-fiction
-true crime
-LGBTQ fiction
- Swedish literary fiction
2023 upcoming productions include Swedish romance, and classic American mystery fiction.

Although our production volume is low due to our unique niche, Great Plains’ audiobooks are beautifully produced and "Inlands" has won the prestigious Earphones Award from AudioFile Magazine, along with a spotlight article in the magazine.

ABOUT OUR FOUNDER, ANN RICHARDSON
Ann Richardson founded Great Plains Audiobooks in the middle of the COVID pandemic when she had the free time to ponder where her passion would take her next. Wanting to stay in the audiobook industry she’d been narrating in since 2008, she realized she needed to form her own organization in order to license the works she felt would be a great fit for her vision.
That vision focuses largely on bringing Midlands and Scandinavian literature and authors to audio. Driving that vision are her memories of growing up in a small rural town southwest of Omaha, where Ann spent endless days riding her horse around the countryside. The Scandinavian part results from her immigrant father's influence; she grew to cherish her Swedish heritage as much as her love for the Great Plains. Completing the mix is her deep appreciation for Nebraska authors such as Mari Sandoz and Willa Cather, which she discovered while pursuing a journalism degree at the University of Nebraska at Lincoln.
Ann is an award-winning narrator with over 300 titles to her credit. She currently narrates the majority of Great Plains Audiobooks, but is gradually hiring excellent narrators more often, as her production volume increases. She lives in the San Francisco Bay Area where she operates Her Smooth Voice, LLC recording studios and offices. In her spare time, she enjoys coaching new narrators, going wine-tasting with her husband, and long-distance running.
