Kilmeny of the Orchard by Lucy Maud Montgomery (1874 - 1942).

This project is now complete! All audio files can be found on our catalog page: https://librivox.org/kilmeny-of-the-orchard-by-lucy-maud-montgomery-2/

A short and sweet romance by the author of "Anne of Green Gables". Eric is a school teacher who goes to Prince Edward Island and meets a beautiful but mysterious girl. Who is she? Why doesn't she speak? Why don't her guardians ever let her out? As Eric explores the answers to these questions, he slowly but surely falls in love with the mysterious girl. Will she ever speak to him? (Beth Thomas)

    1. 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.
    2. 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.
    3. New to recording?
      Please read our Newbie Guide to Recording!
    4. Where do I find the text? Source text for DPLs only!): http://www.gutenberg.org/files/5341/5341-h/5341-h.htm
      Everyone else please read from the linked and colour-coded Google Docs in the Magic Window!
    5. Please claim roles (the numbers in the first column below)! Please note: All Librivox recordings are in the public domain. When you submit your recording, you will be placing your recording in the public domain as well.

Love to! :clap: I'll just send you a PM about some of the mechanics of narrating, as it is a little different from reading a part.

I'll put your claim in the MW when I get home tonight. :9:

Are we cleared to start submitting stuff? I see you've broken up the MW into chapters so I thought I'd record accordingly, doing a chapter a day or some such.
