Little Wonder are delighted to announce that this Thursday we will share with you “Sedna”, a story from Fay Roberts’ “The Selkie: A Song of Seven Waters.” To whet your appetite, here is “To Begin”, a short introduction to the mysterious world of The Selkie. Listen, then click on more to find out about Fay and her work.
When we launched on iTunes about a week and a half ago I set at the time what I thought was a hugely ambitious target of achieving 1000 individual play listens by September the 1st – which, if we could also get enough rate/reviews on iTunes to get an average score in the UK, US and France, would be enough to maybe, just maybe, get us on the front page of iTunes.
Well, it took us 10 days. We smashed through 1000 listens on July 23rd and with the very exciting Operation Semen by Oliver Warren releasing tomorrow I think this may just be the beginning!
Want to help us out? Rumour has it that the average podcast that makes it to the front page as “New and Noteworthy” has received 2000 listens and 200 rate/reviews on iTunes. We’re not that far away. We could do it! Check out how to rate/review on iTunes by clicking this [link]. Friends, family, people you meet on the street – lets do something amazing!
And look at these glorious, beautiful numbers below. Or forget my obsession with graphs and go listen to some radio plays 🙂
A lot of people scoff at Science Fiction. They think it’s all spaceships and silly robots.[i] But writing Science Fiction can make you a better writer, because it encourages you to consider elements of your work that are more easily ignored when writing straight fiction or other genres.
