A Note From Jonah Cummings, of We Produce Audiobooks, LLC: Hi Sally.  Thank you again for inviting me to speak to the group.  I enjoyed the time and look forward to hearing future guests. I wanted to also let you know that I am adding Audiobook Proofreaders to our database of available talent at We Produce Audiobooks, LLC . Audiobook Proofreaders should love reading, have excellent hearing and enjoy finding mistakes that need to be corrected.  Audiobook Proofreaders will read a PDF manuscript on a computer screen while listening to an mp3 recording of the audiobook narration making sure that the recording reflects the written manuscript verbatim. (Narrator mistakes)  In addition, Audiobook Proofreaders will be listening for audible sounds that distract a listener from the story being told (i.e. loud clicks, mouth noise, stomach rumbles, birds in the background, ambient noise, hacking breaths etc) These are noted along with actual word mista...

Stanley Harris Jr., a member of the SWG, is celebrating the publication of his new book, The Practice: What They Don't Teach in Law School (The Journey of a Southern Lawyer). It's described as a chronicle of all the twists, turns, and adventures of a Southern attorney and is much like a tour of the river that winds through the setting of this story, the quintessential southern city of Savannah. The book spans five decades of the city's history as told from the point of view of its protagonist, Gordon Graham, an attorney who helps in his distinctive way to shape it. The book takes readers along as Gordon grows up, navigates the waters of his law education, makes life-directing choices about his career path, and embarks on a series of legal adventures that can, literally, fill a book.
