Is anyone out there in the process of writing a radio play, or has had a radio play accepted for production? If so, I would love to hear from you, as I am writing a radio drama (for R4s afternoon play slot) and could do with some advice. Many thanks if you can help.

This will probably sound extraordinarily daft, but if you have a good well thought out idea for an article, and know what you want to say, and have found the 'place' where it might belong, how do you go about getting interest from the relevant publisher? Do you send them a brief outline, or can you send the finished article? I guess, thinking about it, it would be pretty daft to send the finished product, which will have entailed many days/weeks of research, only to be told they are not interested, or that they don't accept from freelancers!
