SNAP JUDGMENT

Touting its style as “storytelling with a BEAT,” Snap Judgment, with host Glynn Washington, features a raw, musical brand that dares listeners to see the world through the eyes of another.

Each Saturday at 1 p.m. on GPB Atlanta 88.5 and the GPB Radio Network, the program presents compelling personal stories that produce cinematic, dramatic radio.

And you can do more than just listen. Snap Judgment producers want to help you tell your story. So how does a story go from an idea to being on the radio? It starts with the pitch.

SNAP JUDGMENT PITCH POINTS:

Find A Character: Who tells the story?

Brevity: Tell us the basic bones of the story.

Detail: Let us know a couple of small details about why this person is so interesting.

Plot Points: Pitch us stories that unfold like a film.

The Twist: The character should not be a stereotype. This person should behave surprisingly at some point in the story.

A Solid Ending: How have things changed from beginning to end? How has the character changed?

Trope to Avoid: Something really sad or tragic happened to me and I got over it by doing something positive.

The Truth: The story should be true to the best ability of the person telling the story. Many stories rely on the recollections of the storyteller, but the story should be true.
