Hi and welcome to Librivox!
There are a few things to do before you get started.
You will need to complete a one minute test - this is to check your specs are up to Librivox standards, and if not, you'll be given hints on how to remedy that. http://wiki.librivox.org/index.php/1-Minute_Test
Please post your test in the Listeners Wanted forum (see the dropdown at the bottom of the page) for the speediest response. Waiting for the OK may seem tedious, but can save time in the long run. Your section will be held for 1 month pending your test. Please keep in touch if there is a problem.
You will also need to be added to the catalog of readers. I will add you using your forum name, but if you prefer your real name or a pseudonym let me know. We can also link to a personal blog or website. If you click on your name in the Magic Window, you will be taken to your catalog page.Be sure to read the first post - all the info you need is there, but if anything doesn't make sense, just ask. The wiki (see the top of the page) has bundles of info too.

I may of started early. There's a bit of volume discrepancy between the intro and the rest of the audio. Let me know if it's enough so to be a problem. I expect I gonna want to retake this this one.

We already have a dedicated proof listener (DPL) who checks all files as they come in. If you are interested in prooflistening, look for projects with a tilde (~) in the subject line.

I really enjoyed reading this great story! Thanks to you it can be shared with so many! Be of good cheer.

Well read but unfortunately the order of two tiny words got switched which completely inverts what the sentence says.

At about 7:47 the text reads "who would come to offer for it a ransom". You have "it for a ransom".

Language is fascinating that the order of "for it/it for" gives opposite meanings.

Thanks,

M
Here it is again;

So right about the word order!
Kerry
Good job with the fix. PL OK!

Thanks,
