Welcome Kristin
I reviewed your test sample, and while it sounds good there are some technical changes needed. LibriVox requires audio that is 128kbps constant bit rate MP3, 44.1kHz sample rate, mono, and between 86db and 92db, preferably 89-90. Your test audio is a WAV file. Other than that, your recording looks good.
When exporting your MP3 from Audacity, go to File>Export Audio. In the pop-up menu select:
Format: MP3 Files
Channels: Mono.
Sample Rate: 44100
Bit Rate Mode: Constant.
Quality: 128kbps.
These selections will be saved for future exports.
See the pinned post at the top of this forum for more information.
You can pre-check your audio yourself by downloading the free Checker app: https://cgjennings.ca/projects/checker/
Passed with Warnings is a fail with regard to volume.
Please make a new test recording and post it in a reply to this message. I will come back and review it for you.

Hello, sorry about that. I think it had something to do with when I exported the file. I used Checker and confirmed the settings are accurate. Please try this one and let me know if there are still any issues!

Okay, you are good to go. One note: The volume is barely above the minimum at 86.2db. Going forward, target 89 to leave a margin of safety.
Happy narrating!
