What is ABC Tales Radio? ABC Tales Radio is a unique website offering writers and poets the chance to self-publish their work in an audio format. In recent years there has been a huge increase in the number of self-publishing opportunities for the printed word, ABC Tales Radio is now utilising the power of the internet to create possibilities for writers and poets through the spoken word. How did ABC Tales Radio come about?
In the past eight years the ABC Tales website has published over 55,000 short stories and poems, and some of the writers have gone on to find commercial and critical success. Read more about the team behind ABC Tales Radio.
How does ABC Tales Radio work? We provide a platform for writers to self-publish, or self-broadcast, their work to an international audience. We do this using the skills, experience and profile we have gained through our two highly successful literary websites. Writers and poets can record their own work and submit it for broadcast, or choose to have their work recorded by a professional actor.
As with traditional self-publishing, writers and poets pay a fee for having their work broadcast. In return, ABC Tales Radio provides a platform for the work, hosts and streams the audio, and promotes the website and its content to a worldwide audience and the international media. How can a writer/poet benefit from being on ABC Tales Radio? There are very few opportunities for writers and poets to have their work broadcast. We provide the technology to make this possible, as well as the greatest chance for the work to be heard by listeners around the world. Having work broadcast can be a great boost to a writer's or poet's self-confidence and give them encouragement to continue with their writing. Our listeners are able to comment on the stories they listen to, which will provide valuable feedback on their work to the writers and poets. We will be working constantly to promote ABC Tales Radio and its content, giving writers and poets a high profile showcase for their writing. I want to broadcast on ABC Tales Radio.
