Hey there - I can't find it in the database - maybe it didn't go through?

MaryAnn,

Here's another author I can't find: Marjory Scott Wardrop

(also, I may have just buried the note to you that Osaki isn't showing up in the database)

Hello, Ashyia :)

I'm sorry you had to wait while I was out of town.

Your reading is very good, and my only PL Note for you is an optional edit that I would recommend if you feel like doing, but it is not required.

The introduction and ending are much louder than the story itself, so that it's a little hard to hear it when you start the telling. It would benefit from having that portion Amplified. You would not want to amplify the entire track, but first zoom in so you can see the individual second marks, and highlight from 22.0 to 3:09.0 - then select the Amplify Effect, and put a 3 in that top box, hit Enter.

If you choose to make the volume edit for that portion, don't forget to export to mp3 again and upload the edited file. :)

You can either post the upload here, or let me know you rather leave it as is.

Love your contributions!

I'm sorry you had to wait for me as well. I was a bit swamped with my classes, but I have a breather at the moment. I'll get it situated. Thanks!

Here you go.

Looks like she may already have been there. I created it, but now the one I made is gone and only Ozaki is this one: https://librivox.org/author/1327?primary_key=1327&search_category=author&search_page=1&search_form=get_results

Well, maybe if I would have used the "z" instead of an "s" for Yei Ozaki . . . :oops: I'm sorry about that.

Got them both attached to their stories. :)
