Next Stage Press has reopened our Submissions to everyone!!
A few dos and don’ts.
DO NOT SUBMIT 10-MINUTE PLAYS!! (They are too short to publish alone) – The submission will be deleted.
ALSO, DON’T SUBMIT PLAYS THAT ARE UNDER 30 PAGES. (Unless they have a companion piece that can be grouped with them) – If there is no companion piece, the submission will be deleted.
DO NOT SEND AN INQUIRY ABOUT THE SUBMISSION. If you haven’t heard from us after 8 months, it is safe to assume it doesn’t fit our needs…but feel free to submit again.
DO NOT SUBMIT THE PLAY VIA EMAIL!!!
IT MUST COME THROUGH THIS PORTAL!!
Thank you in advance for the submission.
Any email we receive concerning things we have covered here will be deleted.
NOTE:
short details, no extra stuff to have to read, and no submission fee. all good
Very user-friendly portal. Good submission experience.
open and easy submission policy
A fair process that gives ample opportunities to diverse writers.
A simple, easy to access way for writers to share their work with a greater audience. Easy, user-friendly and effective.
I submit a lot of my plays to theatre companies, but this was by far the quickest and easiest format to use to submit one’s work. Thank you.
So great to have a publisher that will consider plays whether or not they’ve been produced yet. Less focus on marketing (“it must have quotable reviews from productions”) and more on the quality of the scripts.
My play, Breakfast With Gandhi, is going to be published by Next Stage Press and I am delighted to submit my award-winning play, Sweet Texas Reckoning, as well! The submission process is seamless and the communication with NSP, awesome!
Submitting to Next Stage Press requires a few simple things. It is easy to accomplish, takes little time and seems to be considerate of playwrights–and that’s a critical element.
Thank you for the simple, clear submission process. It was by far the easiest I have ever used.
The guidelines are easy to follow. The process is easy. This is my first play to submit and it has been easier than anticipated. Thank you for the opportunity.
It’s so refreshing to find a publisher accepting new plays, that offers an easy to use submission portal. Thanks, Next Stage Press!
Very easy and concise submission portal.
Thank you for this streamlined submission!
Thanks for the easy submission process. Nice to know that the “work” is the important focus rather than who the playwright is.
Thanks, Next Stage Press! Much appreciated.
Incredibly effortless and streamlined process, thank you!
The least complicated submission form I have seen. I wish there were more like it.
