A reader recently contacted me with an awesome idea: a pronunciation guide for The Story Peddler. My husband kicked it up another notch and suggested I do a video. The video will be coming soon! But for now, here’s a written guide.

I’m not using standard phonetic symbols here. Just sounding these out in a way I hope is easy to read. Any surprises here? Any minor characters or other words I’ve missed that you’ve been wondering about? Ask me in the comments and I’ll add them!
