Novelist Wanda Adams Fischer (EMPTY SEATS)

As a radio broadcaster, I have wanted to get this novel converted to an audiobook, and I didn’t know where to start. I have several listeners who are blind, and they have been asking when the book would be available in aural format. I wanted to have this performed to give me an idea as to where to start, because I don’t have a clue as to how to begin to audition potential readers. This is an amazing start.

In 1972, the Montreal Expos draft three 18-year-old baseball stars, send them far from their hometowns, where they discover their dreams of becoming Major League ballplayers won’t be as easy as they once thought. Challenges call for split-second decisions–on and off the baseball diamond.

The irony of this festival is that its goal is to not be around in 5 years time. To eventually not be relevant because there is zero need to have a festival geared for female talent and female stories because the stories presented in Hollywood and around the world are a balanced showcase of the human experience from both sexes. Our goal is to achieve a lot of success and then fold into oblivion simply because there is no need for this festival. This festival was created by the FEEDBACK Film & Writing Festival as a simple reaction to a strong need to showcase female talent from around the world in a more profound way. When putting together the weekly festival, the administration noticed a lack of a female presence in the stories being shown at the festival. A classic example and analogy to the frustration is how the festival noticed that even the smaller roles in a screenplay were written for a man to play. There was zero reason for this in many stories. How a police officer, or a political campaign manager, for example with 3-4 lines in a screenplay was a "HE" character. Why? And these are the screenplays written by the winners! The talented one who have obtained agents and have began/beginning their careers as a writer.
