<Holding a sealed envelope to my head><\/span><\/p>\n

I see\u2026a new prompt for episode 34 of The Word Count Podcast.<\/span><\/p>\n

And how about that\u2026I\u2019m right!<\/span><\/p>\n

Our prompt as chosen by the massively brilliant readership of my blog:<\/span><\/p>\n

The Oracle smiled and said \u201cAh. I have been waiting for you\u2026\u201d<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

The Word Count is open to submissions to anyone.  And I want to be clear here.  I affectionately call those who contribute more than once to the show the \u201cWord Count Irregulars.\u201d  Submissions to the show are absolutely open to ALL artists out there.  I have had poems, songs and rants submitted that have made it onto the show.<\/span><\/p>\n

My point is this.  If you write and want to expand your audience for free, this is a really fun way to do it.  Just follow the submission guidelines and get writing!<\/span><\/p>\n

But first, allow me to provide a little background about the show.<\/span><\/p>\n

I put together the podcast to feature writers (new and “old hands,” famous and just starting) as a way to get YOUR writing out there.  The show is simple: based on a prompt; you create an original short story and then record yourself reading it.<\/span><\/p>\n

That’s it. No ads, no hard sell.  Just a podcast with great stories. I rely on the contributing writers and fans to promote the hell out of it and we are way over 17,000 downloads at this point.<\/span><\/p>\n

Why do I do it?  It’s a hobby.  And I’ve been meeting wonderful authors through the show.  It’s all about networking and friendships.<\/span><\/p>\n

Listen to past shows HERE<\/a> or you can download\/subscribe via iTunes.<\/span><\/p>\n

Easy, fun and you’ll pick up a few more fans. So…now you’ll be needing the guidelines.<\/span><\/p>\n
