solo vs collection

[quartertone]

I have a story I want to read (aka narrate). It's relatively short (7741 words) but it is divided into chapters. Would this be more appropriate as a solo work (with each chapter being its own section) or as part of a short story collection since it would ony come in at around 50-ish minutes? I'm leaning more toward short story collection because I feel like the librivox taglines would interrupt the story immersion too much for such short chapters.

I agree - as long as it fits in a collection just read the intro as in the project then read blah blah blah -slight pause - chapter 2 blah blah blah..... or if the "chapters have a title give the title instead of the chapter.

I think you could do it either way. And since you're leaning towards one file in a collection, that sounds like a good plan.

I've done it both ways - for different stories - and my experience with the collection option was much better and easier - just send in the story, DPL already in place, rather than have to set up a solo project, fill in Magic Window, wait for a DPL, etc. And I've also kind of regretted the solo project, precisely because of the interruptedness of the Librivox disclaimer you mentioned.

PS. One advantage to the solo project, is that you can attach your own summary and/or image cover to go with the audiobook. (but not really an advantage to me as I generally struggle with summaries, and I rarely make covers )
