Erb Publishing is open to submissions from playwrights writing for schools, community theaters, and independent producers, not only from our founder, Tom Erb.
What we are looking for
- Full-length plays, generally 60 minutes or longer
- One-act plays
- Ten-minute plays
- Monologues, standalone or in a themed collection
All genres are welcome: comedy, drama, musical (book and lyrics), family and youth theater, and more. The common thread is that the material has to be genuinely stageable by a school or community theater: reasonable cast sizes, practical production demands, and a script that is ready to be read and cast, not a rough draft.
How to submit
Use the submission form on the Submissions page to send your script. It walks through the same details we look for: title, category, cast size, running time, and a link to the script itself. Prefer email? You can also send everything directly to submissions@erb-publishing.com.
What happens next
Every submission is read for fit with the catalog. If a script is accepted, Erb Publishing handles the publishing and licensing side, so the playwright does not have to manage rights requests and contracts directly.
Full details are on the Submission Guidelines page.
