Send us a text

Getting ready to light a fire under your audio drama writing habits in 2024? Here's a method for planning your next season or story arc that breaks your season down into episodes, and episodes into moments, so you can make a story that matters, one storytelling beat at a time. We'll explore Dan Harmon's storytelling method in detail, and how Lindsay adapted it for her needs, making up a season and an episode. Plus, you'll learn about the ADWIT Audience Survey, and how you can shape the future of The Audio Drama Writers' Independent Toolkit. And, you can sample the coming attractions for our next episode.

WARNING: Spoilers for Star Wars and The Wizard of Oz.
