Our Story
We are a group of friends who dream of making our own audio dramas some day, but had no idea how to go about it. They always say, "practice makes perfect," so we rounded up our team and got to work. Our goal is to learn the "how" behind audio drama creation. Run by Gem Aydin and Lyssa Jay, 400 Words A Horror allows us the space to have fun, spook up a little, experience, experiment, and learn the ins and outs of audio drama creation! This is a learning experience for all of us so, any constructive feedback is more than appreciated. Feel free to drop us a message on any of our socials! If you want to stay anonymous, our Tumblr ask box awaits you.
Sooo... why the name "400 Words A Horror"? Well, the idea came to Gem while practicing with the Pratchett method called ‘400 Words A Day.’ The goal is exactly what it sounds like - write one story a day using at least 400 words (ahem... you know, hence the name) to practice and improve on one's writing. As a result, all of our stories vary in length and topic from episode to episode. We always have a loose theme for the week!
