The Essay Library Anthology Vol. 7

The Essay Library is putting together another collaborative video essay project! Each volume of the Essay Library Anthology is a collection of 60-second micro-essays based on a shared theme. Our previous prompts were Beginnings , Time , Death , bot-generated titles , Secrets , and Becoming Someone Else . For Vol. 7, the theme is "adaptation" . Whatever that means is up to you. For this project, anyone can participate, even those who have never made a video essay before. It's also great for seasoned video essayists looking to break up their routine and try something new. Submissions are open now until Sunday, June 2 at 11:59 PM EDT. See below for more information and FAQ. While working on your submission, we encourage you to discuss the project with other participants in the The Essay Library Discord .

Prompt: Adaptation (all interpretations welcome) Constraint: 60 seconds (55-65 second range allowed) Deadline: June 2, 2024 at 11:59 PM EDT. Submit here. Share ideas here (optional). Join The Essay Library on Discord.

Frequently Asked Questions

Nope! Just submit your video by the deadline. As long as it follows all the guidelines on this page, it will be included.

Video essays should be submitted here . We'll need two things from you:

  • • A .mp4 file of your video via Google Drive, Dropbox, WeTransfer, etc. Remember to edit the permissions so anyone with the link can access and download it. This goes in the final compilation, so leave out any channel branding.
  • • A YouTube link to your video on your own channel. Keep it unlisted until the launch day. This goes in the playlist and can include channel branding.*

* "Channel branding" refers to YouTube intros/logos, end screens, Patreon/ko-fi promotions, and anything else that is not part of the essay itself. You can put your name/username in the video if you'd like, but this will already be written on the title card before your video.

Submissions are due June 2, 2024 at 11:59 PM EDT. The essays will then be edited together and Vol. 7 will be published shortly after (a week or so later).

All participants will be credited with a title card before their segment appears in the final compilation AND in the video's description with their name and a channel link. Each segment will be marked using YouTube's "chapter" feature so that the creator can be easily located.

No. You can keep your part unlisted after launch. We just need to be able to make a playlist of everyone’s videos, so please do not set it to private.

We welcome submissions from non-YouTubers! If you cannot/do not want to make a YouTube account, we can upload your micro-essay to The Essay Library YouTube channel as an unlisted video.

Please be sure to indicate this on your submission form instead of providing a link. Your submission still has to follow all the guidelines regarding suitability for YouTube publication.

You can use this spreadsheet to list your name and your intended topic, as well as take a look at what other people are doing for their topics. Doing this is not mandatory, but can help avoid direct repeats.

  • • Your submission should be appropriate for YouTube publication. It should not trigger any Content ID/copyright claims. Please avoid any NSFW images/content that would result in the video being blocked.
  • • Voiceover narration is not required.
  • • Essays with sped-up voiceovers will not be accepted.
  • • All languages are welcome, but please provide English subtitles if your submission is not in English.
  • • Your submission should stand on its own. It should be produced specifically for this collaboration -- don’t submit a clip from an existing video essay.

Yes! You can even do a horizontal submission for the big compilation and a vertical version for your own channel. In the past, we’ve had a mix of formats.

We would like you to do your best to keep your submission around 60 seconds. We will allow a range of 5 seconds shorter or longer (55-65 seconds).

While the body of your essay should remain the same in both versions, you can add channel branding that exceeds 60 seconds for the version on your own YouTube channel. Leave this out of the .mp4 submission.

Some examples of channel branding include adding an outro/end-screen, inserting graphics that encourage viewers to subscribe to your channel, or listing the names of your Patreon supporters.

Feel free to create your entry in any dimensions or framerate you desire. The final compilation will be 1080p/60fps, and submissions will be upscaled/downscaled to fit those dimensions. Aspect ratios will be preserved.

These Video Essays Do Not Exist

The Essay Library is hosting a collaborative project for April Fools' Day where participants are invited to create video essays based on subject matter that does not exist . Submissions should be kept to five minutes or less. Submissions are open now until March 23, 2024 by 11:59 PM ET. Keep reading for more details about how this all works.

Prompt: Video essays about subject matter that does not exist (open interpretation) Constraint: 5 minutes maximum (no minimum) Deadline: March 23, 2024 by 11:59 PM ET. Click here to submit. Click here to share ideas (optional). Click here to join The Essay Library on Discord.

What does the prompt mean?

The full prompt, which was submitted and voted on by Discord members, is “video essays but made up (the subject matter does not exist).” You can interpret this however you’d like. It’s intentionally open-ended; the goal is to collect as many perspectives and approaches as possible. Potential topics include:

Lost media.

What the next season of a canceled TV show would look like.

Work(s) published under a pseudonym.

How a certain work of art (film, song, etc) would be different if another artist made it.

100% fiction: for example, make up a fake country and discuss its history.

Do I have to sign up?

Nope! Just submit your video by the deadline. As long as it follows all the rules/guidelines outlined below, it will be included. If you would like to chat with other participants, you can join The Essay Library Discord server with this invite link .

How do I submit my video essay?

Video essays should be submitted here . We'll need two things from you:

A .mp4 file of your video via Google Drive, Dropbox, WeTransfer, etc. (remember to edit the permissions so anyone with the link can access and download it) – this goes in the final compilation, so leave out any channel branding.

A YouTube link to your video on your own channel (keep it unlisted until the launch day) – this goes in the playlist and can include channel branding.

Both of these must be done. ”Channel branding” refers to YouTube intros/logos, end screens, Patreon/ko-fi promotions, and anything else that is not part of the essay itself.

When is my entry due?

Submissions are due March 23, 2024 by 11:59 PM ET. The essays will then be edited together and the full collab will be posted on April Fools' Day (April 1 2024).

Do I have to make the video on my own channel public?

No, you can keep your part unlisted after launch. We just need to be able to make a playlist of everyone’s videos, so please do not set it to private.

What if I don't have a YouTube channel?

We welcome submissions from non-YouTubers! If you cannot/do not want to make a YouTube account, we can upload your submission to The Essay Library YouTube channel as an unlisted video. Please be sure to indicate this on your submission form instead of providing a link. Your submission still has to follow all the guidelines regarding suitability for YouTube publication (basically, don't trigger copyright strikes on our channel).

Who will post the final compilation?

The big compilation featuring every essay in one video will be posted on The Essay Library YouTube channel .

How do I know what topics other people are doing for their submissions?

You can use this spreadsheet to list your name and your intended topic, as well as take a look at what other people are doing for their topics. Doing this is not mandatory, but can perhaps help prevent repetition.

Are there any rules for what I can and cannot include in my video essay?

Your submission should be appropriate for YouTube publication. It should not trigger any Content ID/copyright claims. Please avoid any NSFW images/content that would result in the video being blocked.

Voiceover narration is not required.

Essays with sped-up voiceovers will not be accepted.

All languages are welcome, but please provide English subtitles if your submission is not in English.

Your submission should stand on its own. It should be produced specifically for this collaboration -- don’t submit a clip from an existing video essay.

How firm is the time limit on my submission?

There is a firm 5 minute maximum video length. There is no minimum length. While the body of your essay should remain the same in both versions, you can add channel branding that exceeds 5 minutes for the version on your own YouTube channel. An example of channel branding is adding a logo at the start or listing the names of your Patreon supporters at the end.

What specifications should I make my entry to?

Feel free to create your entry in any dimension or framerate you desire. The final compilation will be 1080p/60fps, and submissions will be upscaled/downscaled to fit those dimensions. Aspect ratios will be preserved.

Will I be credited?

All participants will be credited in a title card before their segment appears in the final compilation and in the video's description with their name and a channel link. Each segment will be delineated using YouTube's "chapter" feature so that the creator can be easily located.

That's it! If you have any other questions, you can discuss the project in the The Essay Library Discord .

When no publication date is listed, leave it out and include an access date at the end instead.

Chicago also has an alternative author-date citation style . Examples of website citations in this style can be found here .

For blog posts and online articles from newspapers, the name of the publication is italicized. For a blog post, you should also add the word “blog” in parentheses, unless it’s already part of the blog’s name.

When a web source doesn’t list an author , you can usually begin your bibliography entry and short note with the name of the organization responsible. Don’t repeat it later if it’s also the name of the website. A full note should begin with the title instead.

When no publication or revision date is shown, include an access date instead in your bibliography entry.

2. Scribbr, “Citing Sources.”

The main elements included in website citations across APA , MLA , and Chicago style are the author, the date of publication, the page title, the website name, and the URL. The information is presented differently in each style.

In APA , MLA , and Chicago style citations for sources that don’t list a specific author (e.g. many websites ), you can usually list the organization responsible for the source as the author.

If the organization is the same as the website or publisher, you shouldn’t repeat it twice in your reference:

  • In APA and Chicago, omit the website or publisher name later in the reference.
  • In MLA, omit the author element at the start of the reference, and cite the source title instead.

If there’s no appropriate organization to list as author, you will usually have to begin the citation and reference entry with the title of the source instead.

When you want to cite a specific passage in a source without page numbers (e.g. an e-book or website ), all the main citation styles recommend using an alternate locator in your in-text citation . You might use a heading or chapter number, e.g. (Smith, 2016, ch. 1)

In APA Style , you can count the paragraph numbers in a text to identify a location by paragraph number. MLA and Chicago recommend that you only use paragraph numbers if they’re explicitly marked in the text.

For audiovisual sources (e.g. videos ), all styles recommend using a timestamp to show a specific point in the video when relevant.

Check if your university or course guidelines specify which citation style to use. If the choice is left up to you, consider which style is most commonly used in your field.

  • APA Style is the most popular citation style, widely used in the social and behavioral sciences.
  • MLA style is the second most popular, used mainly in the humanities.
  • Chicago notes and bibliography style is also popular in the humanities, especially history.
  • Chicago author-date style tends to be used in the sciences.

Other more specialized styles exist for certain fields, such as Bluebook and OSCOLA for law.

The most important thing is to choose one style and use it consistently throughout your text.
