Submit your work to Transom Specials 🎉
I have some good news
I've talked with many of my guests this season about how hard it sometimes feels for original work, without any celebrities attached, to get made. We're craving weird, personal, fun work in the podcast/radio world. I've talked with many of you about how it frustrating it feels to try again and again to get your foot in the door, especially if you're making a career transition.Â
The team at Transom feels that way too, so they're launching an open call for Transom Specials — an opportunity to finish and share stories that might not fit anywhere else. They're paying between $2,000-$8,000 for selected short works. Plus, you as a producer will retain the rights to your work. Hell yeah.
I hope you'll submit your weirdest, most delightful work.Â
Are you on the fence about submitting? Worried what you have to offer isn't good enough?
Writer Zack Akers gave me some great advice as a college student when I was having the same anxiety: make them tell you "no." As in, you definitely won't get selected if you don't submit. So why not take the chance? This opportunity was made for you.Â
