Play Publishing: How It Works

Maddie Hindes is Commissioning Editor for Plays at Nick Hern Books – the UK’s leading specialist theatre publisher – responsible for reading and acquiring the best contemporary plays for publication and amateur licensing. This talk will offer a step-by-step walkthrough of the process of publishing plays: how publishers discover new writers; explaining contracts and royalties; putting the plays on the page; and how the finished play-texts are shared with the world.

This is a free, ticketed event for Writers’ Card Members, taking place in the Royal Court’s Bar.
