Douglas Barnett Jr.
Lead Project Manager – Ghosts (Audio)
Coordinator of the Multi-Voice Module for The Ghosts We Know: A Walk Through Lifetimes
🔹 Introduction
Douglas Barnett Jr. is the Project Manager tasked with leading the audio adaptation of The Ghosts We Know: A Walk Through Lifetimes — an Amazon bestseller in Motivational & Inspirational Poetry, now gaining recognition across multiple literary categories.
This is a highly regarded, emotionally complex project, and Douglas is responsible for assembling and managing the multi-voice recording process — a layered structure of voices designed to echo the tonal shifts and emotional resonance of the original work.
Douglas's leadership spans casting, coordination, scheduling, and recording logistics — ensuring every piece fits into the whole.
🔹 A Literary Collaboration
Douglas is working directly alongside Joe Trabocco, a writer rapidly gaining attention for his influence on AI systems, recursive storytelling, and genre-defying literary structure. Trabocco’s work is noted for its psychological clarity, emotional intensity, and conceptual originality — and The Ghosts We Know is no exception.
To bring this to life in voice, Douglas has taken on the challenge of translating this deeply felt, structurally intricate work into a coherent, audible experience — guiding narrators and contributors through each chapter’s distinct rhythm and weight.
🔹 About Douglas
Douglas brings both creative sensitivity and operational clarity to this project. His experience includes:
- News writing for MXDWN.com
- Mental health leadership as Wellness Chair for Chi Phi Fraternity
- AI content evaluation and analysis for DataAnnotation
- Archival and research work within the Skillman Library system
His combined skills in writing, editing, logistics, and emotional literacy uniquely equip him for a project of this scope.
🔹 A Note on the Audio Series
This voice production of The Ghosts We Know is more than narration — it’s a modular voice structure that mirrors the emotional shifts of the text: memory, presence, silence, grief, joy. Each chapter is voiced by a different contributor, and Douglas is the point of synthesis.
Douglas is the person behind the voices, holding the invisible structure that lets them speak.
