Writer Guidelines
Welcoming New Playwrights
Wild Grace is usually "print-on-demand". That means we do not warehouse materials, thus we do not waste lots of paper.
Playwrights may work with Wild Grace in several possible ways.
- By sending us a sample of your published work so that we may consider making it available (complete and unedited) on this web site as a "free sample" of your work. Your benefit is that you may include a link. (We will only post materials from the named authors which include a notation of your copyright including the date. Also, all materials available here are subject to the Wild Grace web master's decision regarding what fits the purpose and mission of Wild Grace.)
- By submitting a manuscript for consideration for Wild Grace to publish and market in hardcopy form. If you would like to submit a manuscript for consideration for publication please e-mail, or write to Julie Marlin, Creative Director, create@wildgrace.com and request an idea submission form. Wild Grace Creative Director will mail, or e-mail you a form which you can copy and send us as many ideas as you wish. Ideas which we publish in hard copy or on this website will include your name as the creator and the church where the idea was used, and the date when it was done. Hopefully, you will get famous even though you probably won't get rich sending us these ideas, as Wild Grace pays $7.00 for each idea we use in a future publication or as an example on this website.
- By accepting commissions for writing scripts offered by our customers. (When this need arises we will solicit playwrights from those with whom we are already working in areas above.)
Submission Guidelines
Please do not send unsolicited manuscripts even if they are fabulous and seem to fit perfectly the niche of Wild Grace. Instead e-mail Julie Marlin, Creative Director, create@wildgrace.com with a query including the following items:
- Give a brief description of your idea for a script.
- You may include a brief (250 words or less) sample of dialogue you have written.
- Describe the proposed production setting and your target audience.
- Let us know a page count @ 250 words per page or the word count, or the estimated playing time.
- Tell us about your educational background, your experience in theater and/or any other special qualifications you have for writing church drama.
- List any other published works you have written.
