After a successful pilot season of Writers’ Showcase, 360 North statewide public television and KTOO News would like to invite Alaska writers to participate in this next season. We’re looking for short stories and creative non-fiction around the following themes:
Holidays, November 13th
(Stories that play well in November and December. Submission deadline is Sunday, October 19th)
Journeys, March 5th
(Actual or metaphorical. Submission deadline is Sunday, January 18st)
Writer’s Pick, June 4th
(Open theme. Submission deadline Friday, May 1st)
Stories should be about 10 minutes long when read aloud and should somehow reflect the theme. Broad interpretations are welcome. Please submit pieces to arts at ktoo dot org and let us know of any publication history or rights.
Show format: Stories are read aloud before a live studio audience by trained actors. The program is recorded for broadcast on 360 North and KTOO-News, with the potential for broadcast on other public radio stations in the state. Watch an example from last season here:
Unfortunately, we don’t have a budget to pay our writers or actors, but do find that the performance, high quality video recording, and statewide and internet exposure is usually ample. If you’re interested or have questions please email arts at ktoo dot org, or call 360 North producer Scott Burton at 907.463.6473.
