$10,000 Shakespeare’s Sister Playwriting Fellowship Open for Submission

Here's a fantastic opportunity for women playwrights!

A Room of Her Own's Shakespeare’s Sister Playwriting Fellowship offers a woman playwright living in the United States the chance to hone her craft and develop a new play in the course of a year-long engagement with three world-class organizations.

In addition to a $10,000 the cash prize, the winner will be awarded a residency with the Hedgebrook community in the spring of 2015, a spot in AROHO’s biennial Retreat for Women Writers at Ghost Ranch in August 2015, and a project residency with the Lark Play Development Center in the fall. All travel expenses will be covered.

Developed in order to nurture the generation and development of new work by female playwrights, supporting the winner from inspiration all the way to working with professional actors and directors to realize that vision, the Shakespeare’s Sister Fellowship will join the ranks of AROHO’s other coveted awards—including the $50,000 Gift of Freedom, the $1,000 To the Lighthouse Poetry Publication Prize, and the Orlando Prizes in poetry, fiction, and creative nonfiction.

Go here to apply. Deadline to submit is July 31st.
