Thank you so much to @josephsavage and the @thedailysneak for sponsoring this Freewrite House event.

A new week of the author reading contest!!

The most wonderful thing about this contest that we are in cooperation with OneLoveDTube! Two communities working together is always better than everyone doing their own thing.

The How Too of an Author Reading

First, you have to write your story. You can use a freewrite or a different story. It has to be your own writing.
Rewrite and edit your story to your heart’s content. You also have no length constrictions - it is entirely up to you.

Read and record your story on video.

Here are some hints:

  • Practicing your reading might be a good thing.
  • Choose a quiet environment to do your reading. Remember that AC units, heaters, dishwashers and such can be very disturbing in the background.
  • Check out the acoustics of the room - bare walls are not a good thing for audio.
  • If you are outside, make sure that the background noises fit into your story.
  • Get a tripod or something to stabilize your camera/phone.
  • Use a microphone if you can. A simple headphone with microphone can work well.
  • Do a test first and check your sound, background and so forth.
  • If you don’t want to show yourself reading the story, make sure that you have permission to use all images. Read the permissions carefully that they apply for video.
  • Have fun!!

A Sample Process

I have Apple devices and will share here what I am doing.

  • I record the reading with my iPhone on a tripod and either a micorphone or the headphones with build in microphone that came with my phone.
  • I airdrop the video to my laptop.
  • I import the video into iMovie and edit.
  • The graphics are created in Canva. I use custom dimensions 800x450
  • I upload the finished video to YouTube.
  • Then, I download the mp4 file from YouTube
  • Open DTube - remember, only your posting key is required
  • Upload the video, snap, and text.
  • Publish

When you are done, drop the link in the comments of this contest post.

If you are running into problems, make sure to check out the OneLoveDTube discord.

They are working on an alternative uploader and such - but it is not free.

Dear @freewritehouse
I've contributing a fair few entries to multiple contests but I cannot see any of the results... can you please help and/or clarify the process?
Are we likely to see the results for April now that we are just about halfway through May?
Many thanks for all your support and community efforts!
Yours,
@nickythecat

I only saw the entries for the Talent award. And yes, I am truly hoping to be able to post the results today. And I need to find a new judge for the English part since the current one is obviously not into it anymore - hence the late results. That is how it is when working with volunteers - can't push them too much...
Are you interested?

Yes, I would be interested. Sure!

Great!! Welcome on board. As a judge, you read all the selections of the month (can be under several posts). Then you send me your selections -1,2,3,4,5 and so forth. I compare with the other judges and figure out the overall winner from there. Thank you so much for being onboard!

Ok - no problem. Please confirm which link to observe for entrants in MAY?
Also, what is your plan regarding APRIL? (entrants are almost certain to decrease rapidly if no results are announced).
Best, Nickythecat

results are coming today. And yes, for May

Ok - can you provide a link to where the submissions for the month of May are posted please? I cannot see any at present... Thanks.

Thank you! I have an author reading ready to post, so I'll do that later!
