HighBridge Company of Minneapolis, Minnesota, is a leading publisher of spoken word audio cassettes, CDs, and downloadable titles. Founded by Minnesota Public Radio to produce and distribute recordings of Garrison Keillor's A Prairie Home Companion, HighBridge was incorporated in 1989. While we continue to publish a wide selection of Keillor and public radio-related titles, our catalog has expanded over the years to include New York Times best-selling fiction and nonfiction, Oprah's Book Club® titles, and more. We publish approximately 45 titles each year. We produce unabridged and abridged book-based audios, as well as original radio broadcasts and dramas. In April of 2007, HighBridge became part of the Workman family of publishers, and our titles are distributed through Workman's sales force. That sales force reaches out to independent bookstores, gift stores, chain stores, distributors, wholesale clubs, schools, libraries and special sales accounts. HighBridge titles frequently win awards, including Grammy® Awards, Audie Awards from the Audio Publishers Association, and Listen Up Awards from Publishers Weekly. We consistently earn Earphone Awards from AudioFile magazine. HighBridge also has Pulitzer Prize-, Mann Booker Prize-, and Giller prize-winning authors on our list. Our audio titles receive national review attention in trade publications and in consumer publications, newspapers and journals. Over the years HighBridge has built a reputation among booksellers and audiophiles as one of the highest quality audio publishers in the industry.
