Title: Writing For Broadcasting: Radio Writing For Profit (Black's Writers' & Artists' Library)
Description: A & C Black, London, 1935. First Edition, Hardcover (Original Cloth). Near Fine Condition/Very Good. Though dealing with the technique of broadcasting, this book is free from technicalities. It is written by a successful radio author who is also a radio critic and broadcaster. In sixteen chapters he deals not only with the writing of plays and pageants but also with that of talks, going so far as to guide the reader in their presentation before the microphone. The author, being himself a composer, has not forgotten the musical side of writing for broadcasting-for the sake of those interested in it. Practical and comprehensive, this book is invaluable to anyone with ideas of writing for the microphone (the technique of which is clearly explained) and, moreover, makes fascinating reading for listeners who enjoy radio talks and plays in the ordinary way. The contents include: The Microphone as a Medium; High Comedy; Low Comedy; Musical Comedy; Burlesque and Satire; Biographical Plays; Historical Plays; Drama, Characterization; Pageants; The Famous Trials Series; The Writing of Talks; & The Broadcasting of Talks.
