What is Insight for Playwrights?
A monthly marketing newsletter with the latest submission information for theatres, playwriting contests, workshops, residencies, and other development programs for dramatic writers. Insight offers 16 pages a month of important submission information. We scour the trades and the internet for playwriting opportunities...so you can concentrate on your writing.

We're connected
We include the latest guidelines and contest entry forms in every issue. Our e-mail subscribers receive hotlinks to theater web sites and contest entry forms. And every Insight subscriber has access to our online archives.

We provide a monthly reminder
Life is busy. It's easy to put off submitting your work. How many times has a deadline passed you by because you didn't think to look it up in a book? We provide a vital reminder every month...so you'll get your material out there.

Our information is fresh
Annual guidebooks go out of date fast. Theatres can go out of business, move, or change their submission policies. Every script sent to the wrong place costs you time and money. We make contact with every source shortly before their information is published..so you can be sure your work gets into the right hands.

Our listings are more complete
Insight gives you enough information to make an informed decision about where to send your script. We include web addresses, mission statements, titles of past shows, special interests, Equity contracts, number of submissions a theater receives each year, royalty info and much more.
