Young Theatre MakersI am planning a script reading day on 9th December. So if you have sent in a script recently, or indeed, some time ago and haven't heard anything hopefully it will be dealt with then. Earliest I'll be able to get letters out will be January so if I can beg your patience till then. There has been a bit of a hiatus in reading and reporting in my absence so apologies if your script or report have gone astray.
Here is a recap of the script submission dos and don'ts:
DO
Put your name and full contact details (address/phone/email) ON YOUR SCRIPT. Not just on the letter that comes with it (even if you have emailed it). Page numbers and legible type are helpful too.
Include a Stamped Addressed Envelope if you want your script returned (NB not just stamps or even worse those irritating international mail order things).
Include a Stamped Addressed Response Card if you want acknowledgement of receipt.
Include the whole script NOT just the first 10 pages.
Print and post the script (ie don't send by email unless we've specifically requested it) to
.

DO NOT
Call after a few weeks. It can take around 6 months for a script to be read and processed, longer if we are busy. We will get in touch once we've read it.
Send your only copy. We really try very hard not to lose scripts, but with many plays going through many hands occasionally it does happen.
Send more than one script at a time. We'll ask if we want to see more of your work.
Re-submit a play unless we've asked to see it again. Particularly don't re-submit a play that we are currently looking at - it gets very confusing.
So that's it. I look forward to getting your plays and reading (some of) them. If there are any other questions please use comments below rather than emailing me as it's easier to answer one comment than 20 similar emails.
