If we don't hear from you for three months, your project may be opened up to a group project if a Book Coordinator is found. Files you have completed will be used in this project.

Before you start on a solo you need to have at least provided a 1-minute test - this is not an audition , it just making sure that when you provide a "live" file it can be used - all our files are hosted by Internet Archive and they provide a number of different formats to enable future listeners with options.
The instructions are in your welcome email, the guides for listeners & volunteers in the wiki and in the first post of this forum.

just fyi - This will be version 2 in our catalogue - we accept a choice of voice but some people prefer to enlarge the range of books.

added also fyi
When I looked there are all these available as Etexts https://www.gutenberg.org/ebooks/search/?query=betty+wales&submit_search=Go%21 that we do not have and series are popular with listeners.

Thank you so much! I adore the Betty Wales series and am going to make it a goal to record the whole series! Thank you for your help!

Hello!
I have completed all my recordings and am ready to have my project moved to the launch pad so I can upload the files. Can you please assist me in doing so and obtaining an MC?
Thank you so much!

Moved to the Launch Pad. I won't be MC'ing since I have a full plate for now.

But I've just had an opening, so I'll be glad to join you! Most folks have already seen things done by the time they start their own projects, so forgive me if I explain too much, and ask if I explain too little!

I've added our "Magic Window" into the middle of your first post. As the "solo" reader on this project, you are also the Book Coordinator. This means you'll be responsible for filling in the rest of the chapter titles (I put some in to demonstrate), and then, as you upload your reading for each chapter, entering the link and duration in as well.

In order to update the Magic Window, you'll need to set up an account on our back-end system. Your username will be the same as your forum username, but it has its own password. You can find detailed instructions here:
https://wiki.librivox.org/index.php?title=Soloists:_How_to_update_the_Magic_Window#Accessing_the_System_%E2%80%93_First_Time_Login

Once you've got the account set up, you can get there again at any time by clicking the 'BC Admin' link inside your first post, just below the Magic Window.

- You'll find instructions for intros and for uploading, in the first post.
- Instructions for updating the Magic Window are in the wiki link above.
- When you update the Magic Window, you'll also want to post here in the thread, so folks know what has changed.

Hello! I have searched around a bit and have been unsuccessful. How do I alter the magic window to have a section 00 for the Introduction? I know how to add a section and that when I move it will automatically renumber but how do I set it start from 00 so the sections match the chapter numbers? Thanks for the help!

That's something I can do for you, as the MC. (I can also delete any extra sections, if needed. Just let me know.)

But I should ask: are we looking at the same book? The Gutenberg text linked doesn't seem to have an introduction at all - just the table of contents, and straight to chapter 1.
If you were hoping to include an introduction of your own, that kind of thing will need to go in the project description. Aside from the LV intro and "End of...", we don't include anything in the audio that isn't printed in the edition of the book we're using as our source. We also don't usually read the publisher/copyright page or the table of contents, if that makes a difference to you.

Interesting! I have the physical copy and read the introduction from that. The rest of the novel matches the same. Should I not include the introduction? It is a charming few paragraphs by Margret Ward about Betty and her friends. Thanks for the help!
