Prime Books’ Fantasy Magazine will be adding audio dramas to their suite of podcasts next year. They will be open to audio script submissions from 1 September to 15 November 2008. Scripts “should run 30-60 minutes and follow traditional radio play format.” Their preference will be for plays that require five or fewer actors.
They say “though we will lean more heavily toward dramas in the fantasy genre, we will look at science fiction and dark/horror tales. Any good script with elements of the fantastic is game. Scripts should emphasize character, dialogue, and a good story over relying heavily on sound effects and cool tricks.” They’ll be paying $50 for non-exclusive audio rights. They will also read queries about audio plays that have already been produced, but will be discarding, unread, all submissions that arrive before 1 September. For more information, see their submission guidelines.
Fantasy Magazine is an online weekly magazine of all forms of fantasy fiction. High fantasy, contemporary and urban tales, surrealism, magical realism, science fantasy, and folktales can all be found in our pages. The editors are Cat Rambo and Sean Wallace.
In other news, Rambo notes that they’re “looking for someone interested in dedicating 5-10 hours a month to read the magazine’s slush [unsolicited submissions].” The position is unpaid, and applications will be accepted through 8 August. For details, see Rambo’s blog post.
