I am copying it in here because I don't think you saw it and now others are taking chapters in this book that my boy scout patrol planned to read. I asked if I could reserve chapters 15, 16 and 18-26 for my group. I now see that 15 and 16 are taken. Please advise.
No, I did not see your post, sorry about that! I will PM the claimer to let that person know that you claimed it first.
Now, the issue of these chapters being read by your group. All the members of your group need to register with LibriVox. Are they all minors? They will need to have a parent OK for them to read chapters and release them into the public domain if they are under the age of 13. You will also need to explain to them what public domain means to them. It means that whatever they read will be free for anyone to use, for any reason. Someone can sell their work without any attribution to the reader, or the LibriVox. Some of our work is ending up on Amazon's audio service, changed in pitch and name. There also been some people who have downloaded files and used them for not nice purposes because the readers was obviously young. This all needs to be explained to your group, and to their parents. Once they are registered, and their parents have given their OK, they need to do their one minute tests before they record. Please let me know if you are OK with all that I have said, and we will go from there.
