2021 Members’ Submission Window Selected Writers!

We made it! We read every single play sent to us through our members’ submission window in full and provided every single writer with a valuable script report!

It was such a privilege to read your plays. Each one was unique and received so many exciting, beautiful, and insightful ideas. We delved in to unknown words, heard untold stories, and learned about poignant human experiences. We explored politics, imagined the future and read everything from musicals to comedies to abstract plays and everything in between!

It’s fair to say we loved the experience and if we had our way, we’d help develop all of your plays! But alas, our resources are limited so we had to make some tricky decisions. That said, we’ve been able increase the number of writers we’re working with through offering group development sessions alongside individual mentoring and Zoom table reads.

So, here is the list of selected writers! More details on the opportunities we’re providing for these fantastic writers is coming soon – and you’ll be able to check out profiles for all the writers on a brand new page on our website that is currently being created. Watch this space!

    Dear LPW Team,

    I am thrilled to be included as one of your Selected Writers!
    Thank you so much for your encouragement and support.
    I have already made changes to make my script a lot better, using the very perceptive and helpful suggestions from your dramaturg in their first report.
    It is exciting to be part of such an interesting and intriguing list of plays and writers. I look forward to our future work sessions with the LPW team.

    Thanks again, and best wishes.
    Virginia
