Ok, wrote the intro and also have a way to upload mp3 for those who would like to record in their own voice. If recording in your own voice, only read the poem or story. No title or name. This will be added to the introduction of the episode. Once it's all figured out a email will be sent. Once a submission is sent and If accepted, I would then send a link to upload the audio for review.
Old man is hard of hearing, so I'd by helped by closed captions. If there is dialogue, could you have two voices? When I did a reading editor provided female voice, and I did narration and male voice.
The Haven, a humor publication, has a listen option which must be automated. It is available as soon as a story is loaded. The voice is clear, but somewhat robotic. I don't know if you have any options like that or would be interested.
Hi Sharon, thank you. I will try to do a recording soon to give an idea of how it sounds. I want to animate these and drive people here to get the author's work into the public eye.
I've read via Zoom on several occasions and also contributed recordings for inclusion on radio/podcasts. Happy to do either of these if it would be useful. I have thought about sending you some pieces in Scots but wonder if there would have to be some kind of glossary. I could send a link to something just in English plus a transcript if you like, though.
Thank you Sebastian and awesome. I would need just the poem with music. Clean audio. I can add in background music as I have purchased a license for royalty free. This way we never break copyright. It's getting exciting! Look forward to what everyone has to offer. I can also read the poems as well.
Kevin, Love your energy to push more ideas and content! It's a lot of work for you to do this weekly gig. And given today's world is so distracted and pressed for concentration, do you have a certain angle or theme/mission/intention that you'd like to pursue to give readers/presenters more focus or purpose in what we would deliver for you? And, if there is a specific theme or intention, this could help all of us writers to better share your links and promote WT if we can market it to audiences to help them. Food for thought. Questions?

Hi Russ, thank you so much. For the audio, I will pick a submission accepted and read it, or the author can let me know they also have a recording when they submit the pieces. I will update the submission forms soon. The e-Books (Magazine & Chapbook) are set to themes. I think the readers prefer it to just a free for all. I will start slow with the audio and see where it goes. I also want to get into interviewing authors—both in written and audio formats. The goal, make poetry and short stories mainstream. Like in the days of the greats. It's time to bring it back. And like you said, literature is a great escape from all the chaos which surrounds us all.
Thank you Kamalini for your insight. It will be a reading, but I will set it to music to give it ambiance. And short tracks work best where they are clean and tight. It's looking like this will be a new feature coming! I await more comments.
yes. spoken word speaks to me. I have been involved locally with ROC Spoken Word (google them) for 5 years and have found it exciting, intergenerational, brilliant. They have done demand over the Pandemic and I show up virtually even when I am not performing because it is exciting.
Perfect. My plan is to either have authors send me their mp3 of the poem or short story only, or I can read it and share it with a nice intro and exit. Thank you!

Thanks for what I call Written Tales 2.0.

It's Doug. Sharon has our Facebook.
Hey Doug, sorry about that. Thank you again for all the feedback, it's greatly appreciated.
As long as I can record my work in my own voice, I’m in!
Hi Denise. As long as the audio is clean, you bet!
Excellent idea. Love the energy here.
Hi Lisa, it's time to bring poetry to the forefront once again. Literature is a lost art. Time to revive it.
I think it's an excellent idea. As a reader, I'd love to hear others voice their work and, as a poet, I welcome the chance to read and be heard.
Thank you Brian. If you have an idea, you can also send me the written version to review.

Hi Brian, sure, I'll take a listen. I also just posted the first episode. :)
I think this is a great idea – I have been posting my EDEN by FREI project as a podcast to Anchor and would be happy to contribute content to this.

Audible just goes from strength to strength, so this is a great idea. It would enhance the offering, certainly. If you have the time, then go for it!
Thank you Craig. Just completed writing the intro to the show. Let's see where this goes.
I think this is a wonderful idea.
Hi Glenda, thank you!
I would be interested.
Thank you Rachel!

I don’t do podcasts but I do poetry readings. Does that help. I’m sure people will love listening to short audio tracks. As would I.

Thank you! Will check them out. I am trying to help authors get more exposure and bring poetry and short story form back into the mainstream.
