Most Americans and many of other nationalities have heard of Samuel Adams. He was regarded in the Pre-Revolutionary Period of American History as a Statesman, Political Philosopher and was one of the Founding Fathers of the United States. He was a prominent politician in Colonial Massachusetts and a prolific writer in defense of the relationship between the British American Colonies and the British Parliament. This is a collection of many of his writings between January 1770 and March 1773. (Wayne Cooke)
    1. How to claim a part, and "how it all works" here To find a section to record, simply look at point 5. below at the sections. All the ones without names beside them are "up for grabs." Click "Post reply" at the top left of the screen and tell us which section you would like to read (include the section number from the left-most column in the reader list, please). Read points 6. to 8. below for what to do before, during and after your recording.
    2. New to recording? Please read our Newbie Guide to Recording!
    3. Is there a deadline? We ask that you submit your recorded sections within 1-2 months of placing your claim. Please note that to be fair to the readers who have completed their sections in a timely way, if you haven't submitted your recording(s) after two months, your sections will automatically be re-opened for other readers to claim, unless you post in this thread to request an extension. Extensions will be granted at the discretion of the Book Coordinator. If you cannot do your section, for whatever reason, just let me know and it'll go back to the pool. There's no shame in this; we're all volunteers and things happen.Please do not sign up for more sections than you can complete within the two month deadline.
    4. Where do I find the text? Source text (please only read from this text!): https://www.gutenberg.org/ebooks/2092
    5. Please claim sections (the numbers in the first column below)! If this is your first recording, please let me know under which name or pseudonym you'd like to appear in the LibriVox catalogue. We can also link to a personal website/blog.

I wanted to add that I am considering combining some writings as 91 sections is quite long and some writings are very short. I am reluctant to because I haven't gone through the writings and am not sure how I should group them as they are probably of very different topics.

I would appreciate an experienced opinion once this project is off its feet and I need to decide the grouping.

Carisa,
I can MC this for you. Do you have a DPL?

I added a ~ to your posting indicating you need a DPL.

I will need the genre and any keywords prior to cataloging.

I changed your intro/endings to 'section' instead of 'chapter'. I also shortened the file name. These are both automatically created and you're welcome to change them for future projects.

If this were my project with a group of folks I would cut the sections up some but not per writing. 1770 part 1, part 2, etc.
1770 is 34,357 words. I try and keep word counts less than 7000 words but you can go shorter or longer as long as a single section isn't longer that 72 minutes. Of course you are welcome to do each writing as a stand alone section. With using the subsequent file intro it shouldn't be bad.

Sounds good. Let me know when you are finished and I'll delete the extra sections.

As soloist you are responsible for updating the MW; titles, file links, flie duration, and toggling the status (workflow). Let me know if you have questions.

Thank you

All done! At the top of the MW working screen are "add new section", "add new reader", "assign reader sections". If you click on the last one "assign reader sections" then you can enter the section number and the reader name. Sometimes scrolling is required to get to the name...it just depends on how fast you can type. :wink:

Remember as Soloist you are also the Book Coordinator and need to put the links and times in the MW along with changing the status as "Ready for PL".

Ok, thanks for the reminder. Do I just copy and paste the links?

yes. That’s correct. As a soloist you don’t need to post the link in the thread just make sure it’s in the MW. As a soloist when you post a link to the MW make sure to post something in the thread such as “section 12 and 13 ready for PL.

As a DPL there are a couple of ways we can check if there is something for us to PL. The above method will ensure your DPL knows there a section waiting for their attention.

I had a little time so I got you jump started on the PLing. Sections 1 and 2 are both PL OK. The background noise is within limits however it is a bit more than I typically hear.
