Helpful Books for Radio Play-writers

by Tony "Sparx" Palermo - Radio playwright, Sound Effects Artist, Composer

The best information on how to create audio theatre cannot be found in books. The market is too small for publishers to bother with. That's WHY I created my "Radio Drama Resources" webpages. There are also other websites with useful information. You can find them on my pages devoted to Radio Drama/Audio Theater Information For Educators and Radio Drama Links. Meanwhile, here are some books that I found useful.

Other lists of audio-theatre books:

The Remember WENN bookshelf - a bibliography compiled by a fan of the defunct cable TV show.

Radio Scripts In Print by Susan & David S. Seigel - a listing of where to find old time radio scripts. NOTE: This book does NOT contain the scripts themselves. The authors state that "many of the books listed in the bibliography fall into the 'how to write for radio' category," but again   my web pages on Writing for Audio go into far more detail on writing for radio.
