In a bid to enable budding scriptwriters to showcase their writing chops and empower them to create sustainable income sources. Unlu, an India-based digital platform for content creators has announced its partnership with KukuFM for an audio writing platform to make the writers industry-ready and launch their debut originals on KuKuFM.
Commenting on the burgeoning creator community, Tansha Batra, Head-Partnership from Unlu said “There are more than 50Mn writers across India, but the opportunities have been limited to a very few in the past decade. The emergence of Audio Writing platforms & other digital platforms provides immense opportunities for these writers to come ahead, do what they love & make a living out of it. We at Unlu are just helping to fast-track the whole journey.”
Going live in July 2022, the Audio Story Writing fellowship built through this association will enable up-and-coming writers to hone their craft through an intensive learning program taught by industry experts like Satya Vyas and Saurabh M Pandey and find sustainable income opportunities fuelled by their craft.
Speaking development, Fahad Tausif, Writer Community Manager at KukuFM said, “The market for audio stories is expanding at an unprecedented rate, and there is plenty of opportunity for new talent. We’ve launched an Audio Story fellowship with Unlu’s excellent faculty to help emerging authors master the craft of audio story creation and monetize the content they care about. This collaboration between Kuku FM and Unlu will serve as a light of creativity and a call to all budding fiction authors, letting them know that they are valued here. Our goal is to empower the writing community as a whole and provide them with a platform to tell their stories.”
