Playwrights’ Studio, Scotland is delighted to once again offer six playwrights support through the Playwright Mentoring Programme. This support is for playwrights who have not yet had a professional production and are keen to learn more about their craft. It is a professional development opportunity for playwrights to build their playwriting skills and writing community, working towards completing a draft of a new play.
The Playwright Mentoring Programme follows an eight-month structure which includes one-to-one playwright mentoring sessions, financial support, case study sessions, and opportunities to widen your creative community.
To cover seven days of your time in contact with your mentor and with Playwrights’ Studio, they will pay you a rate of £150 per day. The total amount you will receive is £1,050. Payment will occur monthly, after each mentoring session has taken place.
To be eligible to apply for a Playwright Mentoring Programme, you should:
-
Have some experience of creative writing
-
Not yet have had a full professional production
-
Have a specific idea you want to develop into a full-length play
-
Be able to commit to an eight-month intense programme
You should also:
-
