10 MIN. PLAYS—SUBMISSIONS, FESTIVALS AND MORE

I mentioned in my last blog that Fire Rose Productions is looking for submissions for their 8th Annual Ten Minute Play contest. For those of you who have thought of writing a play, but found the process a little daunting, the 10 min. play format is a good place to start. Here are some sites I've found with useful information on how to write a 10 min. play:

Look under play submissions, and you'll find a list of places that publish plays, contests, festivals, plus submission guidelines.

Happy Writing!
