Coming up

12:00 pm to 1:15 pm

Room 102A, Washington Convention Center, Level One

I will be speaking at the AWP (Association of Writers and Writing Programs) Conference again .

It’s been a big year for audio dramas. We’re seeing a lot of productions out there and the advertising and production landscape is changing constantly. I plan on discussing a bit about my class, the book I just finished writing “Bombs Always Beep”, and sharing some of what I consider the principles of writing for audio dramas.

The conference isn’t free, but there’s a lot of programs that might interest you as a writer, or if you’re a student, there’s a highly discounted rate.

Hope to see you there!

F185. Audio Drama and Podcasting: The Future is Now 2.0

At AWP LA, this panel had standing room only. The audio dramatic writing landscape has been transformed in the last decade by the exponential growth of podcasting. Audiences are no longer locked in the traditional appointment-listening model, but can tune in when they want. As in LA, professional writers and producers will further discuss the craft of writing for this unique medium of the imagination. Learn how to engage audiences in our saturated media universe. Come early if you want a seat.
