The Only Question Podcast Process
#1 - Inspiration
We will begin accepting our first submissions for our debut Dallas season in early May. So, start writing now! Prompts for Dallas Season 1 are online now, so start writing! If you want to be notified when submissions are open, please email us with your contact information.
#4 - Editing
Your production fee includes two passes with our content editors. If you are selected for the podcast, our content editors believe your submission can be podcast-ready in those two passes. If your work is not podcast-ready by the end of the second content editor pass, you may require more editing sessions. Additional late-stage editing sessions can be purchased on our web site for $5/page requiring more work.
#2 - Submit Story
Writers pay a $15 submission fee on our website with each story submission. Your short story must be submitted via our web site in Microsoft Word. Your submission will be evaluated by our content team and considered for the podcast. You will be notified of the selection results by email. Be bold... Submit a story!
#5 - Audio Production
Once your story is approved for audio production, you will be contacted by our audio production partner in your area. Stories run roughly fifteen minutes on the podcast, so required studio time will be scheduled at thirty minutes. Our writers receive performance tips and in-studio advising from the audio engineer. If you require another audio production session, more audio production time can be purchased on our web site.
#3 - You Made It!
Two of our content editors review each submission. Writers selected for The Only Question Podcast will be notified of their selection status after June 1, 2018. Selected writers must pay their production fee of $350 and accept Terms and Conditions to accept their selection to appear on the podcast.
#6 - Marketing
Your recorded story will be slotted into one of eight podcast episodes in a season. The podcast is distributed to podcast directories and featured on our web site along with your author bio and content. The podcast will be marketed using social media, podcast marketing services and direct marketing. Our writers’ exposure will expands through The Only Question Podcast’s ongoing, collective marketing efforts.
