ObjectiveThe Riverlore Witch is my newest novel series. A historical fiction with horror, mystery and drama. This first novel is set to release in Autumn 2026.
I want to create an 'audiobook' version of the first two chapters to help promote both the crowdfund campaign and the book's official release later this year.
The plan is to have this audible version available in full length on my youtube channel (preferably in July) while clips and snippets will be used in short form content on my other socials up until the release.
The project itself comes out to roughly 5300 words, looking for someone to work within a 10 day deadline - the project needs to go live in July.
ExpectationsHuman, not AI voice
Must be open for a ~30min zoom call between June 21-27 (If selected)
Clear audio quality
Edited audio files
Process
I will reach out to 5-10 narrators for a short call over zoom from June 21-27. This is just to discuss and brief about the project. This is not mandatory for everyone just for the talent that I am highly considering. The role will likely be casted on June 30th unless a decision is made sooner.
Payment
Funds can be transferred either through zelle, venmo or paypal. 50% up front and the 50% once the project is finished.

Harold Kozlowski (Kawz-laow-skee) is a 33 year old Chicago physician of Polish descent, he is a practical man who has found himself in an unpractical situation. All his years of formal education and general practice has not prepared him for the horrors that await in Alexandria, IL.
The time period and history is written to the best of my abilities (1890). In a perfect world, I think it would be fitting to have the narrator's accent accurate to Chicago 19th century. However, I have not found much information on what the general accent sounded like during that time. Best I can ask for is a vintage Inland Northern accent if you catch my drift (Chicago, Detroit, Cleveland). As far as the voices for the other characters, I would assume they would have a slight southern drawl. Of course, do the best you can in what would sound best - I am new to the world of audiobooks.

“That’s right Mr. Kasky, you haven’t been here very long, have you?” said Mrs. Jameson as smoke spilled out her mouth. “It’s Doctor Kozlowski, but yes I’ve only been here ‘bout four months I believe.” She rolled her eyes. “Well, doctor, like many small towns, we all have our secrets.” She continued, “Ours just happens to be a devil woman in the woods.”
“The news broke after church, I’m sure other men are on their way.” My words hung thick in the air. There were only the three of us in a town where two children had gone missing on a Sunday. The reason was its own quiet, ugly arithmetic.
I am a physician. Fear is not foreign to me, but it has always, in my experience, had a sensible address. My instinct with unfamiliar things is to name them, and by naming them is to contain them. But this had no name.
