Greetings Ki
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 160kbps bit rate, 48kHz sample rate, stereo, and volume much too low at 60.8dB.
Adjust the input gain on your interface so your raw recording has wave forms that peak at about the -3dB marks in the track window and look more like this:
I haven't used Logic in many years, so I can't give you the exact setting changes, but the output must be 128kbps constant bit rate MP3, 44.1kHz sample rate, mono, and the volume between 86dB and 92dB in Checker, which is about -25dB to -18dB RMS in Logic.
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.
