This is a little known market that many of you might not have come across... they get professional actors to read your works (no fee to the writer involved), and sell the mp3 files cheaply online, with free samples available. http://www.tellyouatale.co.uk/

I've sold 15 stories to them.... one cool factoid is that one of my stories is read by a UK actor who, apart from being in Dr Who in the sixties and seventies, was also a drummer and played in a band in the Cavern on the same gigs as the Beatles, and also as session drummer with Little Richard!

Hi there, Willi!

Is this for everyone, or restricted to inhabitants of the UK? There are always a lot of contests at BBC television, but when you read the rules, you have to be British!!!

AFAIK Tellyouatale.co.uk are for everybody... they've certainly got some US readers and writers ... I know because they got a very sexy US lady to read one of mine

Thanks Willie. This actually sounds pretty good. I think I'll give it a go.
