Reading to a soundtrack
I produced one of the winning entries in the 2014 Booktrack Halloween flash fiction competition. Booktrack features full-length fiction and non-fiction as well as short stories and everything inbetween, but has authors and creators add a musical or sfx soundtrack. The contest rules were to write a flash fiction story in less than 1,000 words.
You can read/listen to my winning entry here.
Killer audio
In 2013 Six to Start, the makers of the Zombies, Run! immersive running app, held a global fan competition. As an avid user of the app when it was first released I entered an audio script/production, which went on to win second place. As well as writing the script I recorded the narrative and sourced some interesting sound effects.
