New Works are committed to discovering, championing and supporting new writing from the North West.The  unsolicited script submission window opens annually, and all scripts received that fit the criteria are guaranteed dramaturgical feedback.

Criteria

  •  They accept scripts from writers from and/or living in Liverpool City Region.
  • Scripts should be written in a clear font (eg. size 12 in Arial, Times New Roman or Calibri). Ensure the pages are numbered and that you include a title page with a list of characters.

  • More than one play per writer per window
  • Radio, film or TV scripts
  • Poetry or prose works
  • Adaptations of novels or existing plays

They expect all writers who submit a script to be aware of the work they programme, the size of the venues, and to know why they are sending a particular play
