Sarah Werner on Audio Fiction Podcasting, Storytelling, and Success

For literally thousands of years, readers have enjoyed stories in the form of printed books. Like me, you probably have lots of novels, poetry books, or collections of short stories lying around your house or office.

One of the most interesting developments in fiction is taking place in the world of audio—specifically, podcasting. Of course, audio drama has been around since the invention of the radio, so it’s nothing new. But with the popularity of podcasting since the mid-2000s, listeners can now access a huge library of audio fiction.

My guest today is Sarah Rhea Werner. She is a writer, professional speaker, and executive producer of Girl In Space, a multiple award-winning sci-fi mystery podcast, the host of the excellent Write Now podcast, and the executive producer of the fantasy audio drama Omen.

Sarah’s Girl in Space podcast in particular has blown up, with nearly 2,000 ratings on Apple Podcasts. In our conversation, Sarah shares her story behind creating the podcast, how sci-fi reflects cultures, and how to know if you’re successful as a writer and creator. Hint: the answer is not so simple.
