What do you do when you break out of your small creative niche and are getting scrutinized by your fandom for that? Lauren can help you with that.
“Somebody asked me on Tumblr the other day if I had any advice for how to become a successful and profitable creator. I was like, Why are you asking me?… I've worked very hard to be a person that people associate with audio drama when they think about audio drama, but I'm not profitable. I'm still struggling to get budgets for the shows that I want to make. I still have to take a million different jobs all the time to support my life. I'm certainly doing a lot better than I was at 24 when I started The Bright Sessions, but I don't know what being a profitable creator looks like.”
Lauren Shippen is a writer and director best known for her work in fiction podcasts. She is the creator and sole writer of The Bright Sessions, and the writer of Bridgewater and Passenger List. She also wrote MARVELS, an audio adaptation of the popular comic, and Surviving Hawkins, a Stranger Things podcast.
