Audio is the fastest-growing sector of the publishing industry, with 2023 representing the eleventh straight year of double-digit growth. While many are familiar with the standard audiobook adaptation from print, in this session we will explore different types of original audio fiction–including audio originals, scripted fiction podcasts, and adaptations–and where to find writing opportunities in this medium. We will study how to apply the craft of writing uniquely to audio, including how sound shapes story in tandem with language, and how to develop setting, character, and point of view in a way that optimizes your resources to best engage your audience. We will also consider how this practice can serve to strengthen your skills as a writer in all formats by enhancing how you develop a story’s soundscape and your characters’ unique experiences therein. No background in audio is needed for this session–I can’t wait to listen alongside you!
