Please post an contributions, comments or suggestions in this Forum. Thanks!

        Post them in THIS FORUM. [As of 12 Feb 2008]

        They will appear on Archive.org in a few days.

    I'm not sure if this is what is needed. Let me know if it needs to be changed in any way.

    This is as good as it gets! Bravo. Thanks much.
    It's 44 seconds —a bit short. Might you send a longer
    sound sample to give a fuller feel for the text & the reading?
    60 to 90 seconds? If not, it'll be fine and we'll use it as it is.

    Grazie.

    Alan,

    Here is a promo I made for The Circular Staircase:

    http://www.studioae.com/LibriVox/Jo/promo_thecircularstaircase.wav

    and two more that Robert Scott was kind enough to put together for me for Jude the Obscure and The Bird Study Book.

    I hope you will be able to use these. If there are any changes you would suggest, let us know!

    Thanks,
    Jo

    Just realized that it has to be in wav format, not mp3. Here's the promo in wav format:
