Submissions for the next WORD COUNT PODCAST are now OPEN!

The Word Count Podcast Episode 24.

Ah…now we are back to the creepy themes that seem to be a staple here at The Word Count. As a Dark Urban Fantasy writer, I say "Good on ya!"

Without further waffling, the theme for the next show is:

 

"The urn you picked up in a garage sale still contains ashes..."

 

 Submission guidelines below. I expect stories that will keep me awake at night!

 

Submission Guidelines (PLEASE READ CAREFULLY)

PROMPT: "The urn you picked up in a garage sale still contains ashes..."

GENRE: Any.

DEADLINE: I must receive your submission by MIDNIGHT (Eastern Time) Friday 23th March 2012

THE DETAILS: The work must be an original of yours. It could be a poem, short story, song---anything really as long as you write something based on the stated theme ("The urn you picked up in a garage sale still contains ashes...") Do NOT exceed ten minutes. As this is a podcast, I need to receive a file of YOU, a friend or multiple friends reading (singing or otherwise performing) your work. MP3 FORMAT ONLY, and please attach your MP3 file to an e-mail. The e-mail should also contain the following:

Your pen name
Your latest bio
Links to your websites
Your Twitter name (if you have one)
A photo I can use for the show notes
Permission to use your recording in the podcast

At the end of the recording, please add the following: "The is <YOUR NAME> author of <YOUR WORK(s)> and you're listening to The Word Count Podcast"

Send your file to me@rbwood.com by Friday the 23rd of March. You can also e-mail me with questions before hand. I do reserve the right NOT to post your submission, but will communicate that to you should it be the case. I add the 'Explicit' tag to the 'cast, so if your story uses adult themes or language that's ok—but it should be necessary for the story.

Get writing and recording!
