SUBMISSIONS OPEN: The Word Count Podcast Episode 82
R. B. Wood
Welcome to the start of season nine of the #WordCountPodcast!
The new season of the show is going to be great–and the reason I know that is because I know the talents of the writers who are a part of the show. Our so-called Word Count #Irregulars are a big part of what makes all the original flash fiction a great part of the program.
This season’s overall theme is LANDSCAPES. And to kick off episode 82, we have a bleak, yet beautiful scene from Norway:
So the title of this month’s show is “Mysteries of the Lake” and I can’t wait to see what our writerscome up with this time!
The guidelines for submission to the show are below–and anyone can send in a story for consideration. While I certainly love the stories our Word Count Irregulars supply, I’m always open to new writers and new ideas.
I would love to hear from you, either with a story submission or via social media. I have a Facebook Page that could use a few ‘likes.’ The more listeners and contributors we have, the better the shows can be.
There are over 450 original stories at this point—all free for your listening pleasure, all we ask is for people to help get the word out. Click the link:
