Welcome 2019 playwrights! We are entering our sixth year of writing pieces about 365 historical women a year! We would love to have you write with us! All of the information on how to participate is below.
PLAYS DUE DECEMBER 31, 2019 (There are no extensions.)
DIRECTIONS TO PARTICIPATE:
FIRST STEP: Choose a woman or women to write about. They must be women who we have not yet covered. You can double check who we’ve covered alphabetically here. Please note, that all of the 2018 pieces have not yet been processed, so we have covered more than what the web site has currently listed. This is why we ask you to choose at least 3 women. We definitely need more pieces about women from 1700s and prior and pieces on women who lived in Africa, Asia, and Australia.
Once you have chosen some options, you will fill out the claim form.
2019 CLAIM FORM
SECOND STEP: You will receive a confirmation email. You are not officially writing about anyone until you have received this confirmation email from 365womenayear@gmail.com. It can take 10-14 days to get a confirmation email depending on the volume of claims we receive.
THIRD STEP: Happy writing. If at any point throughout the year, you get a hankering to write about someone else, simply fill out a new claim form.
Plays can be any length, any number of characters, any language, any genre (musicals included), and the playwriting format you are most comfortable with. PLEASE INCLUDE A LIST OF CHARACTERS at the beginning of the play. It is okay if more historical women end up in your piece than you claimed.
FOURTH STEP: Submitting your piece. Please follow the directions, as your piece will not be officially submitted otherwise.
You will email your piece to 365womenayear@gmail.com. Follow the directions below:
(1) In the subject line you will put: 2019/Name of historical woman/Play Title/Page Number/Your Name. (If you have many historical women in your piece, simply write “MANY WOMEN” in place of the name of the historical women in the subject line.)
(2) Include YOUR 100 word playwriting bio in the BODY of the email. (If you have already written with us and do NOT need your bio updated then do not include your bio.)
(3) Write out your historical/play info to be searchable on the website in the following format:
***Each historical woman needs to be listed separately, include ANY existing woman who appears in your piece, even if you didn’t specifically claim them.****
