Introducing the new and improved 2nd Edition of our popular Playwright’s Handbook, meticulously revised to reflect the latest trends and practices in playwriting. Lauded by Theatre Journal as a “treasure-trove of information and inspiration,” this guide is essential for aspiring and established playwrights alike. Please note that the previous edition is distinguishable by its brown and tan cover adorned with tree leaves.
Our 2nd Edition brings fresh additions to the table, including sections on crafting compelling audio drama, navigating online script submissions, and the crucial “Is it a Play?” evaluation. We’ve also broadened sections on subtext, play structures, visual and verbal storytelling, script formats and software, and the intricacies of managing a playwright’s career in the present day.
For those venturing into screenwriting, we’ve amplified our guidance, offering valuable insights from accomplished playwrights working across theatre, film, and television. As quoted by one of America’s most renowned literary managers, “It’s all there!”
This comprehensive guidebook is authored by an experienced writer and producer, whose impressive career includes collaborations with Lucasfilm, the BBC, and NPR, alongside being a founding member of First Stage, a new play development program in Los Angeles. Immerse yourself in a universe of knowledge, crafted by industry veterans, designed to empower your journey as a playwright.
