Six to Start is opening submissions for immersive audio dramas in the vein of Zombies, Run! This is work for hire, paying £460 per completed script. All genres happily received and all stages of development compensated. More details in the guidelines: https://sixtostart.moksha.io/publication/six-to-start/guidelines …

Something like this sounds like it'd be an absolute delight to write for, but I unfortunately don't have any prewritten dialogue in script format, and don't quite know how Zombies, Run! is formatted anyway. :P Anyway, I wish luck to all the writers applying for this!

You could always take a look at some radio plays and have a go at writing one :) I believe either WriterDuet or CeltX (or both) accommodates this. Shouldn’t be too hard to find examples online.

In terms of writing games, there’s not a lot of guidance out there so beyond using a tool many writers just improvise with the formatting using intuition, often in excel.

Game writing seems really interesting, too. Wouldn't be that bad of a career choice, I don't think.

It’s really fun!

I know @gregbuchanan at least has some Twitter threads on the subject, so I will definitely have to give those a read.
