Firstly… What is The Posterchildren?

The Posterchildren is an amazing book series written by Kitty Burroughs, about a group of students fighting for their place in a highly competitive school for aspiring superheroes.

The cast of The Posterchildren is the answer to every question you’ve had reading a mainstream novel. 

If you’ve ever caught yourself frustrated with the lack of queer characters, the lack of racial diversity, the lack of disabled rep, the way everyone looks the same in the media we’re surrounded by, then The Posterchildren has got you covered.

The Posterchildren is also self-published, which means that some things that are easily accessed by more mainstream novels, like professionally produced audiobooks, are not in the cards.

That’s where this project comes in.

We are producing a full-cast audiobook of The Posterchildren: Origins, the first book in this series. We have the author’s blessings, and we’re very excited to help make this book more wildly accessible through being able to offer an audiobook.

How is this going to work?

We will be holding open auditions for the main characters and some of the characters that show up earlier in the book. We will continue to cast as we move forward throughout the story, as there are a lot of characters who come in later in the series who are very important as well!

Character descriptions and lines can be found here. We are also looking for a Narrator. More information on auditions can be found here. Auditions for the main characters will be open until October 14th, although general auditions will be open indefinitely, at this time.

You can audition from anywhere in the world, but there are some characters that need specific accents, and mic quality will factor in on whether or not you are cast.

I love this idea, but I’m not a voice actor! How can I help?

First of all, you don’t have to be a professional voice actor to take part in this! If you want to audition, you should, regardless of experience.

Reblogging this and getting the word out about this project is also a huge help!

And of course, if you like the look of The Posterchildren but haven’t read it yet, here are some links for how to do that!  Here’s the ebook on gumroads or smashwords, and here’s where you can buy a physical copy. We’re also doing a big online book club right now, and we’re only on chapter two, so it’s the perfect time to jump in and join us.

Thanks for the support, everyone! We can’t wait to hear what you send us.
