Submission Status :

General

Stagescripts Ltd is an independent publisher and rights-holder. Our activities are entirely directed towards assisting authors and composers to achieve live theatrical productions.

We do not publish :-

• screenplays for films/movies,
• scripts for television or radio (unless it is a theatrical adaptation)
• fiction or non-fiction books of any description

In keeping strictly to this policy, we do not dilute our strengths to the detriment of our contributing authors and our theatrical customers. Please do not send speculative e-mails, letters or manuscripts regarding any of the above material; we will not reply.

Submission

Plays and Pantomimes
At the times when our Submission Process for these is OPEN, please contact our by e-mail before submitting anything. Please note that when the Submission Process is CLOSED, it is very unlikely that we will respond to any e-mails or snail-mails received.

Musicals
At the times when this Submission Process is OPEN, please follow our affiliated Literary Department's process. Please note that when the Submission Process is CLOSED, it is very unlikely that we will respond to any e-mails or snail-mails received.

We cannot consider either plays or musicals unless evidence is provided to show that they have had a full stage production in front of an audience, given by either an amateur group or a professional company, and lasting for at least three performances. Different requirements apply to school-based musicals (please ask).

Reading Policy

We aim to read your plays and pantomimes and respond within six months, although that is not always possible where our circumstances dictate otherwise.

Returns Policy (Printed Material)

Stagescripts Ltd is not able to return paper format scripts or CD's, so please do not send stamped addressed envelopes with any material submitted. Please also ensure that any material you send is a copy, and is not your master version, as unsuccessful submission material will be destroyed.

Confidentiality

Stagescripts Ltd undertakes to respect the copyright you hold in any works submitted, even if we advise you that we do not wish to add your title(s) to our catalogue. If you require it, we will sign a confidentiality agreement with you prior to submission.
