Vocal Bodies: Monologues of Disabled Experience seeks monologues for publication

Website

Deadline: April 1, 2026


Smith & Kraus seeks monologues that speak to the experience of disability in some way.
 
Please note that scripts with disabled characters do not necessarily need to focus on disability as the main topic. Additionally, the featured character does not need to be disabled, so long as disability is meaningfully explored in some way. 

We are particularly interested in informed works that highlight the complexities (good, bad, or otherwise) of the disabled experience. 

Disability is diverse, and we are looking for monologues that reflect that diversity in content, tone, and form. Special consideration will be given to monologues that are audition-ready. Pieces that “other” disabled people or rely on stereotypes will not be considered. 

Multiple submissions are fine. 

Work cannot have received previous publication. 

Payment for contributing playwrights will be a split of the net income from sales of that book with the publishers and editors. 

Questions may be directed to: mpoblete@tamu.edu and krothman@tamu.edu
