Submission Overview

What we most look for...

• We will only consider manuscripts with a running time between 15 minutes and two hours.
• Submissions must be family-friendly in both subject and language.  Cursing and explicitly adult content should be kept to a minimum.  Playwrights should also be open to editorial expertise and oversight on these points.
• We seek casts that are either balanced or favoring females.  The more gender-neutral roles, the better.
• We favor plays and musicals with large casts, where more than just a few have a chance to shine.  Flexible cast sizes are also highly desirable.
• Plays with elaborate set, costume, or technical requirements are not appealing because of the limited resources of many of our customers.  Pictures, sketches, or descriptions of your vision are always helpful, as is a video of a past performance.
• Though not required, we strongly prefer plays that have had at least one production or table reading.  We feel this fundamental field test is highly beneficial before a play is considered for publication since plays are created for the purpose of performance.

Preparing your manuscript...

• Manuscripts accepted for publication must be made available digitally and are also strongly preferred for submission.  We accept both Microsoft Word and PDF formats.
• We also accept hardcopy manuscripts.  You must include a self-addressed stamped envelope for material you wish returned.  Note that all hardcopy submissions will be scanned for purposes of digital review.
• We do not require specific formatting.  Your efforts to ensure your script is free of misspellings and typos is greatly appreciated more than any specific format.
• Please follow the directions on this page to submit your manuscript.
