WORKING WITH ME
A quick guide for authors & publishers
Human-Voiced Narration
All narration is performed by me, in studio, with professional equipment and fully edited audio.
I do not work with manuscripts that rely heavily on AI-generated text. Light AI formatting is fine.
Content
I do not narrate explicit content, profanity, or religious expletives.
I’m selective with polarizing or highly charged subject matter—feel free to ask if you’re unsure.
Manuscript Requirements
To begin production, please provide a final manuscript that is:
-
Fully edited
-
Professionally formatted

A Word or Google Doc

Free of locked formatting
Please include a brief pronunciation guide for uncommon names, specialized vocabulary, or foreign terms.
