Course Description:
If you can write it, you can read it aloud and record it.

If you can record it, you can post it online for all the world to hear.

Podcasting should be part of any artist's marketing plan. Writers can use podcasting to record and post their own work online, sell recordings of their work, and for author interviews. Beyond the Internet, podcast recordings can be distributed on CDs, through mp3 players, or played at live events.

The number of online literary podcast journals is also growing, creating new outlets for writers' work.
With today's technology, podcasting is as easy as sending an email and can be done from a home computer. Audio editing software is "point and click," and uploading mp3 files to the Internet is just like adding an attachment to an email message.
In this workshop we'll cover the basics of how to record, edit and upload your own podcasts. By the end of the workshop you'll have a rough draft of a podcast that you can finish editing and post online.

We'll also explore online literary podcasting sites where you can submit your work for consideration.
To get the most out of this workshop you'll need to bring your own laptop and headphones.The

The afternoon of Saturday, May 31 (2:30-5:00 p.m.) will be set aside for the recording of your audio file. Each enrolled participant will bring a 3-5 minute writing sample, pre-rehearsed, to read aloud and record in the appropriate audio format for podcasting. When you enroll, the instructor will contact you to schedule a time slot.
