Call for Submissions:

 

20-Minute Variety Hour Logo

 

Writers, poets, storytellers, musicians, and comedians!
Small Fish Radio is looking for material for our new weekly podcast,
THE APPROXIMATELY 20-MINUTE VARIETY HOUR.

 

Submission Guidelines:

 

STEP ONE:
LISTEN to The Approximately 20-Minute Variety Hour

 

STEP TWO: What to write?

 

TWO-MINUTE SOAP OPERA – serialized: four to eight 2-3 minute episodes for a one story arc.
NO MORE THAN 3 MINUTES (run time) PER EPISODE

 

FLASH FAIRY TALE, MIDDLE AGED FANTASY –
 1-2 minute fairy tales or stories.

 

BARNYARD CLASSICS –
 2-3 minute re-telling of a "Classic."

 

WHAT ELSE?

This just might be the perfect medium for the little idea

you don't know what to do with, a collection of limericks you

wrote, that silly little one-minute play, or a very short story.

 

ALL SUBMISSIONS MUST ADHERE TO THE FOLLOWING:

 

Five Actors or Less – This does not mean five characters or less, it simply means
your play must be able to be performed by a maximum of five actors.

 

NO STAGE DIRECTIONS – While this may seem obvious given our
“radio” format, it is important to remember that your play is
conveyed through the dialogue, music, and sound effects.

 

Please do not submit recorded radio plays, stories or music.

We are not accepting produced radio plays.

 

Multiple submissions are acceptable, as long as you follow the guidelines listed above.

 

Additional playwright submissions resources may be found at http://playsubmissionshelper.com/blog.
