Audio Drama Writing Software, Tools and Formatting: Won’t Someone Protect the Widows and Orphans?

Click here to tell us what you think!

The day a software developer creates software for audio drama scriptwriters that has BBC Radio Drama-style formatting, the option to include line numbers on the script page, page numbers, and a reasonable price, a zillion scriptwriters will give them wads of money hand over fist. Until that fateful day, audio drama writers will debate which software, strategy, or tool spins their story into gold. 

Fortunately, ADWIT, The Audio Drama Writers' Independent Toolkit, gathers a cornucopia of experienced audio drama podcast writers to share their software and formatting experience, preferences, and strategies. In fact, we shared so much, this is the first part of the conversation. Part 2 is on its way. Let us help you on the path to the right tool for your story.

What do audio drama podcast scriptwriters need to craft a script that anyone can proudly hand to a production team, knowing they'll understand it? We sat down with seasoned experts, including: 

• Brendon Connelly of Circles
• Emily Inkpen of Alternative Stories and The Dex Legacy
• Flloyd Kennedy of Am I Old Yet? and Baked Off!
• Shannon K. Perry of Oz 9 and Audiotocracy Podcast Production

Does font size matter? What about blank space? Won't someone please think of the widow and orphan protection? We explore these questions so you can improve your fiction podcast writing.
