Nonfictionista Scott Burton's cool new job title is impressive: Arts, Culture and Music Producer at KTOO-FM in Juneau. He writes to tell us that part of his new position is producing radio and TV programs for a new series known as Arts@360. More details from him:
"Among the new productions we’re planning is a Selected Shorts-like, holiday-themed reading. The show will be recorded, and then likely aired on the KTOO radio stations, and televised statewide on 360 North. We plan to have local celebrities and actors read a variety of short fiction/creative non-fiction pieces that are fresh, diverse, and related to the winter holiday season. Something like David Sedaris’s “Santaland Diaries” comes to mind. The average reading time for a piece should be about 10 minutes. Bonus points for stories that take place in Alaska, and/or stories of a culturally diverse nature.
"The live performance on December 12th will tentatively be about an hour-and-a-half, and the recorded/broadcast piece will be an hour. If you have a piece that fits the above description (or want to write one!), or can think of an existing published piece, please let me know. Small stipends will be available for writers of original work. Please get me your ideas as soon as possible. If you plan on writing something, please contact me soon, and plan to submit it to me at scott@ktoo.org by November 11th. Thank you for your time and consideration."
