Are you ready to take your audio-writing skills in audio fiction drama to the next level?
Do you want to dig deeper into audio-writing craft and make your mark in the world of podcasting?
If so, New Writing North has three short course masterclasses for you, focusing on art of audio fiction drama for writers and producers.
Introducing our first three audio fiction masterclasses especially designed for writers who want to soak their words in soundscapes and get their stories to sing in the studio.
Working with Global Brands
From her work with Doctor Who and Marvel Comics adapting properties like the X-Men, Daredevil and Captain America, Ella Watts will discuss what writers should focus on when working to adapt writing audio for major global brands and pre-existing properties, exploring what has and hasn’t worked in her experience, so you can pitch your work at the right level too. She’ll also discuss other major brand adaptations in the audio field, like Spotify’s partnership with DC Comics.
This is one of three Audio Fiction masterclasses taking place as part of our wider Sounds Good programme. Find out more about Sounds Good
