just wondering

[yaturtle]

i have only one story published a few weeks ago.
It just popped into my head today a notion to invite lit folks to do do an audio book version or illustrated version maybe both. I don't posses the talent to to do either one .
Would someone be able to publish it under a different category with my permission.? where would one post an invitation like that?

Yes, you can, if you give permission, best to do some communication with the one who might want to do the job, so both have some proof of this permission...of course you could ask artists if they would create illustrations for you. Perfect forum here to ask about illustrations. You should point out how many, what kind and what topic (or the specific moment in your story respectively) you would like to have.

An audio version is more special. There's no dedicated sub-forum, I would recommend the Author's Hangout (or Story Ideas).

Time for a new forum: The Oral Artists Corner!

Voice artists occasionally wander by the Author's Hangout spruiking for content to read, but they're rare - maybe once a year.

I've got an audio version of one of my stories which was done by one of those drive-bys - but it was less than a Lit page (a Lit page is approx. 3750 words). I can't imagine many will pick up a 10k story like yours - that's a very long read. Producing high quality audio is a lot of editing and post-production work.

Most of the audio content on Lit, from what I can see (hear), is self-scripted and performed by the writer/reader.

With regard to illustrated content, it's probably more a matter of you finding someone who might be interested - but again, most illustrated content is done by the writer, or in a collaboration which arises from a mutual interest in the other person's work, established over a period of time.

It's all doable, but collaborations usually emerge from friendships that start behind the scenes, not from public invitations.
