Several buddingDevon authors have sent in their scripts and we've recorded them to entertain you at your desktop.

Whether you like a bit of romance, a thriller or perhaps something to tickle your funny bone, there is something in our library that's sure to please.

Are you sitting comfortably?
Computers are brilliant, but how many times have you felt the need for a screen break? Well here's the perfect opportunity to rest your eyes! Rest your eyes and take five or 10 minutes out to refresh your senses by letting us transport you into the land of make believe.

So, settle down with a cup of something hot and steaming, or if you prefer something long, cold and tinkling with ice cubes and just click on the picture of the story you want to listen to.
Then just relax and enjoy!

Do you think you could write a good story?
If you would like to contribute a story send in your script, which should be no more than 1000 words. We want stories that are funny and witty perhaps with a bit of romance or even a spooky mystery.

Contact us for more information or send us your scripts.
