I did a workup for MW data fill with word counts for sectioning. As a result of that I increased the planned section count from 16 to 19 to account for three chapter splits.

Hi Amanda,

As Christine posted in response to your claim on a section in the Witch Stories project thread, I cannot accept your claim until after you have received an OK to record on your 1-minute test.

Thank you,
Brian

It's yours, thank you.

Are you asking that your catalog display be changed from 'Tyler J. Jokinen' to 'VTCastleProductions'? I cannot change that once you are in the Librivox catalog, but our MC can. Please clarify.
