That's wonderful Adraya.
There's info here on starting a solo recording: viewtopic.php?f=28&t=13513
When you are ready, just follow the instructions in that post to start a new project.

Yes, the books listed in the first post are all Public Domain in the US and can be read for LibriVox. If you are outside the US, then it's important to watch the author's death dates to make sure the books are Public Domain where you are. In some places, works only enter the public domain 50-70 years after the author dies.

Should we claim here? I would like to claim The Garies and their Friends by Frank Webb. I plan to set it up tomorrow on New Projects. If that is ok. Jim

I don't know if this is appropriate, but I wanted to mention that at present I am recording The Garies and their Friends as a solo project. Thanks, Jim

Thanks. I've removed Candle Ligntin Time and The Garies from the list in the first post (since they are now done/in progress)
Adraya, once you launch Harlem Shadows, I'll take that off the list too.

And if anyone sees anything on the list in the first post that has already been recorded for LV, please let me know so I can take it off. The goal here is to focus people on works which are not yet in our catalog.

MaryAnn, I have just finished In Old Plantation Days by Paul Lawrence Dunbar. And Dave Craig is cataloguing it as we speak. Thanks, Jim
