Writing for Radio by Rosemary Horstmann

Radio is a more accessible medium for writers than many might imagine according to this book, which provides a guide to the different broadcasting markets that consider freelance material. Radio drama and adaptations, feature and documentary writing, comedy scripts and gags and writing for serials are all discussed. The author offers advice concerning the requirements of the various broadcasting departments and the ways in which synopses and scripts should be submitted. The particular demands of writing for the spoken word are emphasized throughout and the book includes a chapter on basic skills for the radio writer - using a tape recorder effectively and how to edit an audio tape. The author, previously a BBC producer for talks programmes, now runs a consultancy assisting new radio writers.
