Project overview
The idea is to write a whole novel in the month of November, based on the guidelines of the National Novel Writing Month. The twist is that we will have up to 30 people writing together, instead of one toiling alone. Each writer will sign up to do one section of 1,700+ words, in English. The plot emerges as each chapter is written, and writers don't know beforehand what new developments they will be faced with when it comes to their turn to write a chapter. Each writer also records his/her own section, or they can ask someone else to do so. Both the copy and the recordings will be made available on the LibriVox site. We'll have a special podcast and will release one section per day during the month of November. The full novel will remain on the LibriVox catalogue as an extraordinary LibriVox project.
