Why subscribe?
I’m a actor-turned playwright. I don’t have an MFA—just experience, gut intuition, a thirst for knowledge, and transferrable acting skills. This publication will be a mix of articles, practical/easy-to-understand tips, submission opportunities, and general playwright support content. My goal is to make both the craft and business of playwriting less scary, less mystifying, more accessible, and more enjoyable for those who want to write. And I have a vested interest in getting not only playwrights to stand in their own power, but helping the theatre industry (and rest of the world) to understand the true value of playwrights.
