"The deities of the theatre are the playwrights. These gods have their own bible-the Dramatists Sourcebook."-Back Stage
"The Sourcebook is a treasure trove of sound advice and practical information for the working writer. It provides a road map for beginning writers and is an essential reference for those well traveled."-Donald Margulies, Pulitzer Prizewinning author of Dinner with Friends
"If a playwright washes up on a desert island, one of her ten books must be the Dramatists Sourcebook. With the Sourcebook one could even publish from there."-Paula Vogel, Pulitzer Prizewinning author of How I Learned to Drive
Called "the essential guide to professional opportunities and playscript procedures" by The Dramatists Guild of America, the Dramatists Sourcebook contains more than nine hundred opportunities for playwrights, translators, composers, lyricists, and librettists, including script-submission procedures for hundreds of professional theaters, more than one hundred prizes, and scores of publishers, fellowships, residencies, developmental programs, agents, service organizations, state arts agencies, and reference publications. This fully revised twenty-fifth edition is thoroughly indexed and contains an invaluable calendar of submission guidelines, as well as the "Simple Working Guide for Playwrights" by Tony Kushner.
