Submissions to PLCN

Playwrights Canada Press accepts submissions to its editorial committee all year round.

Single new plays submitted for publication consideration must have been written by a Canadian citizen or landed immigrant, and have had at least one professional production in the last ten years.

The author must ensure that the first production information, including cast and crew, is included with the manuscript.

Manuscripts must be typed or a computer printout provided. In both cases the text must be double spaced.

If there are any complications with material in the script, (i.e. use of music, lyrics, poetry or dialogue that is under other copyright than the scripts author) proof that rights have been obtained, or who controls those rights, must be enclosed.

If the script is co-authored, both authors must agree to submit, and proof that this is the case must accompany the manuscript.

Should you wish the manuscript to be returned if it is not accepted, please enclose a self-addressed stamped envelope with sufficient postage.

Should the play be accepted for publication, it must be available in an electronic file.
