Audacity is a free, open source, cross-platform software for recording and editing sounds. When the Shenandoah staff has selected the works we would like to offer audibly, we invite the writers whose work (already selected for publication) we want audio files of to load Audacity onto their computers and follow these instructions for making, saving and sending a voice recording.  It’s simple, and the results are usually clear and steady.  We encourage others who wish to make recordings of their work to try this software, which can be accessed through the following address:
