Workshop: Writing for Audio with Emily Inkpen

Audio drama is almost as old as radio itself and, since the rise of podcast platforms, the medium is booming. This means that writers can build global platforms/audiences at low cost and flex their creativity in the direction of series drama, gaining recognition and experience before submitting to TV production studios. This workshop will provide a practical guided tour through the process of writing for audio drama, starting with "why?" moving on to "how?" and ending with what your role will be once the scripts are written. Join BSFA Award-winning audio drama writer, Emily Inkpen, for all the tips and tricks you'll need to get started.
