Thank you!

I was actually planning to just use the long version for all my recordings. As a listener, it never really mattered to me which the reader used, and if I try switching back & forth, I'm guaranteed to mix it up quite a bit. (:

As to the stumble, I'll go re-listen to it; thanks.
'Fraid I'm not much of a perfectionist when it comes to editing! I personally don't care if someone I'm listening to stumbles around quite a bit, as long as they're reading with some expression, so, (even though I do try to hold myself to a higher standard than that, knowing that it can really annoy some listeners) I do tend to skip minor stumbles unless they detract from the flow of the story.

Would you recommend that I smooth it out?

Not really; as a soloist you are your own boss

plus it can be argued that small stumbles like that make the listening experience more real, like someone is reading to you in real time.
As a proof listener I may point out small imperfections like that, but it's up to the reader to decide what to fix.

I'll mark your chapter 1 PL OK

I can DPL this project. I’ll be traveling from 5/13-5/20, but otherwise you will have my full attention.

I have listened to all your recorded chapters and read your prior editing/PL conversations, so I will support you as you hold a high standard. That means, there a few tiny stumbles overlooked and a few called out. Overall, background noise seems to be the biggest distraction. I will make note of it where it is as loud as your narration. To catch up, I'll address each chapter separately.

Chapter 2 notes:
10:00 Stumble (only mentioned because of next note so close)
10:02 background noise

13:01-13:05 background noise
13:08-13:13 background noise
