Submissions now open for the next TWO Podcasts!
I'm now accepting submissions for The Word Count Episodes 36 AND 37!
You read that right, dear sinners.
I’m putting out TWO prompts for the next TWO podcasts!
Whilst our “Word Count Irregulars” mop the bead of sweat from their collective bow, let me explain why two stories this month.
In November, I’m running a kickstarter request for funding for a proposed anthology:
Winter in the City: A Collection of Urban Fantasy Tales
(Click on the link/title above to visit the project site. Donations, fans and words of encouragement are welcome!)
So. The Themes for the next two shows will tie into #WitC.
The Word Count Episode 36 Theme: “Winter”
The Word Count Episode 37 Theme: “The City”
Episode 36 stories (“Winter”) are due to me by NOVEMBER 10th. Episode 37 stories (“The City”) are due to me be NOVEMBER 17th
The Guidelines to submit recordings for BOTH shows are follows (Please read carefully):
GENRE: Any.
DEADLINE: I must receive your submission for “Winter” by SUNDAY 10 November 2013 at MIDNIGHT. For “The City,” I must receive your submission by SUNDAY 17 November 2013 at MIDNIGHT.
THE DETAILS: The work must be an original work based on either the prompt "Winter” or “The City.” Please indicate WHICH cast you are submitting to in the subject of your e-mail
Do NOT exceed ten minutes for either recording.
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 or contact me for a Dropbox link.
Your submission MUST also contain the following for each recording:
Your pen name
Your latest bio
Links to your website(s) - Include your personal site, Facebook Fanpage etc.
Your Twitter handle (if you have one)
A photo of you I can use for the show notes
At the end of your recording, please add “This is <state your name> author of <state your work(s)> and you’re listening to The Word Count Podcast”
Permission to use your recording in the podcast.
Send your file to me@rbwood.com (or via the dropbox link I can provide) by 10 November for “Winter” and 17 November for “The City”. You can also e-mail me with questions beforehand. 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.
Peace
