Why I Joined the Guild with Georgia Stitt

DONNA HOKE: I have spent a lot of time educating, promoting, and advocating about submitting work, so much so that I think the word is out. There are submission platforms everywhere, there’s sharing, and the submission seminar that I recorded with Stephen Kaplan is up on the Dramatists Guild website. I think the record high numbers that we’re seeing in submissions means that playwrights have gotten this message and they’re responding to those open calls.
