Script Submissions

earstage is currently accepting submissions from writers. We are always looking for good, original radio plays.

Format
Your script needs to be a radio play (i.e. no stage directions or visual cues). We do not accept st

age plays or screenplays. Radio drama scripts should include only things you can hear—i.e. dialogue, sound effects and music cues (stings, transitions, etc.).

Genre
We are currently only looking for scripts for our "dark sense" series and our one-off series. If you feel that you have script that would fit into either one of these categories then continue reading.

Length

To fit into our broadcast format, plays can be a maximum of 35 minutes long (most scripts are about one minute per page but it depends on the formatting). Therefore, we accept 25-35 minute plays (which air in one part) and 56 -74 minute plays (which air in two parts). We also accept shorts, which can be up to 10 minutes in length.

Fame or Fortune?
Well maybe a little of both. If we produce your play we absorb all production costs and we will strive to get it aired or syndicated. Most of our writers work for a certain percent of the overall profit and each script is handled differently.

You will also receive a copy of the finished production.

Agreement

If we accept your script, we will send you a writer's agreement, which:

1.Grants us permission to produce your script
2. Grants us Public Broadcasting rights to the finished production, download rights to the general public as we see fit, as well as the right to broadcast on Broadcast Services for The Blind
3.Grants you, the writer, all rights to the original script

Feedback Policy
Unfortunately, due to the volume of scripts we receive, we cannot provide feedback on your scripts. Please do not be discouraged if we reject your submission. We reject scripts for any number of reasons, including excessive length, unsuitable content, and sometimes writing quality. Unfortunately, even if we really like the idea, we do not have time to work with writers to improve their scripts. Our advice is to keep writing as much as possible to gain experience, show your scripts to others for feedback, and take writing classes if you feel it would be helpful. Good luck!
