Well Told Tales publish a new podcast each Monday with a new short story (15-35 mins) read by actors. The stories are either sci-fi, horror or hardboiled/noir and there’s currently 4 episodes for download. The 5th episode should be available later today. I’m just after listening to Tequila, which I really enjoyed. I’ll definitely give the rest of the stories a listen too.
And if you write that kind of stories then there’s a chance that you should read the following:
Well Told Tales accepts short story submissions in all genres from 2,000 to 5,000 words (give or take.)
We tend to prefer edgy genre fiction — sci-fi, horror and noir — but we’ll take a look at everything.
The main thing we look for is quality: does your story transport us into another world. The second thing we look for are original, “high-concept” ideas that have the power to capture our audience’s imagination. If your story meets the first two criteria and has a fun, pulp-fiction feel, then it’s probably just what we’re after.
We currently pay US$20 per story. We hope to bump that up soon, but we’ve got to start somewhere — we are a start-up after all.
If we purchase your story, a podcast is just the start – we’ll work with you to develop your concept into a feature film, TV show, graphic novel and/or other derivative work(s).
