Writing For Radio
A guide to writing for radio, by Graham Andrews
Writing For Radio shows readers how to write scripts for radio -
Writing For Radio emphasises working for community radio, because there are so many more opportunities in this field for creativity than other streams of radio. It’s good experience. Community radio really is for everyone. The skills learned in community radio are readily adapted to mainstream radio.
While many people would like to write for radio, they do not know how to go about developing their ideas, or, once basic ideas are written down, how to develop them into material suitable for radio. The aim of this book is to show that there is much, much more to radio than being just another disc jockey.
What's radio all about then? It's about entertaining people. It's about educating
them. It's about amusing them. It's a process of enriching the lives of others. At
the same time, it should be a process whereby you, the writer of programs, are fulfilled
by being creative -
Whatever area of radio you eventually decide to specialise in, you must learn the art of writing for radio. Good radio is all about using the right words, and the right amount of those words.
