Writing
for Radio
The
BBC is planning to broadcast a season of six new ten minute radioplays
in the Spring. They will be the winners of The Spin competition
which is supported by the Gulbenkian Foundation.
The
plays will be professionally cast and produced. The winning play
for each station will also form part of the season for five other
radio stations across the North.

There
are more details on formatting radio drama, with tips from well
known radio writers.
