ounded by a writer (regular contributor Finn Colgan), Well Told Tales aims to find the best genre short stories from English-language authors around the globe, have those stories read by professional Hollywood actors, and then distribute the audio files free-of-charge to horror, sci-fi and hardboiled fans around the world. We pay our writers for their stories. Our current rate of US$20 is -- let's face it -- a token payment. But it is more than some literary magazines pay, and we do want to make a point that writers should be paid for their work. We hope to increase our rate in 2008, and will keep increasing payments as we can afford to do so. We rely on listener contributions to help defray our expenses for stories, Web hosting, etc. (Hint, hint.) Google Ads kick in a few cents whenever someone clicks on an ad. We're still waiting on our first Amazon.com purchase. And the rest of our budget comes from the pocket of our founder. And, of course, we're lucky to have a bunch of great volunteers -- actors as well as designers, submissions editors, techies, etc. -- who contribute their time and effort because they believe in what we're trying to do. Since launching in the Spring of 2007, we've grown steadily and have a subscription base of about 1,000 listeners. And we've got big plans for the future: our first short film is in currently in post-production and we plan to shoot a (micro-budget) digital feature in 2008. Eventually, we hope to grow into a writer-centric production company that delivers top quality genre content to multiple platforms in a variety of formats (ie.: video, audio, text.) If that happens, swell. And if not, well, that's OK, too. We'll just keep telling our tales and hope that our listeners enoy them.
