Lora,
I'd be happy to partner with you on this. I'll add you to the MW and get us moved to going solo.

Meyer was a contemporary of DL Moody and had a long career as a pastor in England. Until I found this book, I didn't realize that he also started a work to help people coming out of the local jail. This book is a series of stories of his experiences in establishing that jail ministry (and several ot...

The Bells of Is, by Frederick Brotherton Meyer (1847 - 1929) This project is now complete. All audio files can be found on our catalog page: https://librivox.org/the-bells-of-is-by-frederick-brotherton-meyer/ "It has always seemed to me, amid submerged masses, deep down at the bottom of the oc...

Ayisha, Well, I'm not sure. :hmm: English projects get DPLs pretty quickly, but our pool of Chinese speaking volunteers is smaller. If you know someone who might like to listen to this for you, you can encourage them to join LV and sign up as your DPL. Even if they don't want to read themselves, we ...

Great Ayisha,
Thanks for the update.
MaryAnn

Thank you Larry. Always a pleasure working with you.

Ayishalyu,

Yes, the link works. I've posted for a DPL here: viewforum.php?f=61

Ayishalyu Great questions. The number in the file name is the section number. If you combine multiple chapters into one section, then your intro should be "Section # of [book title] ..." and your section titles should list all of the chapters in that section. Here's a project I did recentl...

OK, Your MW is set up. For a solo project, you are the Book Coordinator. That means you fill out the Magic Window and post your links and times in the window when you upload your files. You'll need to start by logging into the magic window. Instructions are in the BC How-to ; and this is a more deta...

LaVoice, Also, sure to change the status of each section in the Magic Window. Right now section 0 says "assigned". When you upload a section and it's ready for Michele to listen to, change the status to "Ready for PL". Once you've made the corrections she's requested and uploaded...

PL Notes Preface Third: Please note that all filenames throughout the project must be identical except for ##, and we don't use capital letters. Thus, you must rename your file storyofslavery_00_washington_128kb (even though Scott wrote the sketch). The MC (me) will update all file names during cat...

Ayishalyu If I understand correctly, you want to read the original text of this story and omit any later commentary on the original text that was included in the print version at PG. That is fine to do. We will adjust the title of the project to say "Abridged". That will indicate that you ...

Ayishalyu,

Is this the same work? I think the characters are rather old fashioned, but is it possible for you to read from this source? It has a clear copyright date, so we can confirm it is public domain in the US.

Ayishalyu, I am interested in MC'ing this project for you. Please give me just a little time to check out your source. I know wikisource says this book is in the public domain because the author died more than 100 years ago, but I want to make sure we can accept that statement. Usually we want to se...
