Creating 'On The Night Train' for Radio from scratch with Kiley Hatch | The Merry Beggars

A student in Hillsdale college, Kiley Hatch pitched a story to the Merry Beggars, and they snatched up her creative talent. An idea bloomed into a massive project with 40 characters, 21 episodes, and a rousing race across America produced as an audio drama for radio. Kiley shares her experiences diving into the deep end, being paired with an incredible team, and  how she grew as a writer and creator.   Editor's note: this interview was glitchy, but we've done our best to edit it for clarity. The final version here is the best we can do - but we think you'll agree that Kiley has such a winning personality that the time flies by!

How to write fiction for radio (or audio shows) | A Merry Beggars Workshop | Peter Atkinson

NEWS FLASH: The Merry Beggars are looking to work with, employ, collaborate, and pay writers across the USA. They have an ongoing content need for content! They need between 30-60 minutes of scripts every single week. Plus, they pay writers!   This short, intense workshop starts with the medium of audio and how it works. Then we go through different styles of audio drama that affect how you're writing and what type of show it is. We go quickly into why writers should seriously consider audio. Then we'll screenshare several real-life scripts created from stories.   By the end, fiction writers will understand the excitement of radio drama, how it's different to writing short stories. And if you're up for it, you can create and submit your ideas to the Merry Beggars!     ABOUT PETER ATKINSON Peter went to Columbia University for their graduate program in acting, starred off Broadway, founded a media company, sold it to Relevant Radio, and now heads up Relevant Radio's entertainment division.    WEBSITES: https://themerrybeggars.com [https://www.youtube.com/redirect?event=video_description&redir_token=QUFFLUhqbE53ZjlfX0l3bC1WZzVWTWl4QzJ4dXNKbTllQXxBQ3Jtc0trVXN0RlFkYklZc1N5UElTeHpEWUw3ODFvZ25Rb1dHZnZLb2plTlJYN25ZNDdiSEJsLU1ybGkxUjdsVnJSekw3MmZZdlJzSEJnRktld2ZncUhCRVNhNEwwY043cVY2R0tUVVdPa0tsdFlxalZQSmNWVQ&q=https%3A%2F%2Fthemerrybeggars.com%2F&v=LeeQhwG2SiI] https://thatnewrevival.com [https://www.youtube.com/redirect?event=video_description&redir_token=QUFFLUhqay04VTBVM1BOaWhaYW5ZdWlpR0JhRHdrSDhWZ3xBQ3Jtc0tuNTZidVUzTmg1OEI1UDB4N1NpMUViQ29pLUxsQlBTamJPSXRTeVBkSGpmZjJPc0JsT2Z0ZE5FSmdjLTA3c3NyRnZYTWxCaC1vbTRjV0JLaEEyTWRheW5vcS1pbHNacTduWldHekY5YmJiMk9yelFUOA&q=https%3A%2F%2Fthatnewrevival.com%2F&v=LeeQhwG2SiI]    LEGENDFICTION https://legendfiction.com [https://www.youtube.com/redirect?event=video_description&redir_token=QUFFLUhqbUIyUFJyVGVobHJ3a1hLNGNjRHg4dDgxcThjQXxBQ3Jtc0tuWHdZcXhKRnpRWEN6LVZrMHVrUkhkVGZyeTZEcm5FMlB6dU9tLWhRcjRuS1pxZ3R4OWl5MzAzLTVTX1RZV1VvUkUwZjBabDBvTFBLRjJvaFBBTVotSWRHZS0xWVVHWlFqYnRCdDJuNEtTWEdTN3hPVQ&q=https%3A%2F%2Flegendfiction.com%2F&v=LeeQhwG2SiI] About The CatholicAuthor Show The show about Catholic fiction for ordinary, modern authors!
