Submissions

Are you a verse playwright, a hip hop artist, spoken word performer, translator, educator, poet or enthusiast?  We'd love to hear from you!  There are a couple ways to share your work: through shares, submissions, or booking one-on-one sessions.

NOTE:
Because of the volume of submissions, #H2H will reply at their convenience. Any submissions which do not fit our guidelines will not be considered.  Thank you for your understanding!

ADDITIONALLY: Neither #H2H nor TURN TO FLESH PRODUCTIONS promotes or endorses any form of hate speech, racism, sexism, etc.  H2H and TTF reserve the right to refuse to work with any artist whose work is at odds with the values of our company, which strives to promote the good and dignity of every diverse human person.

SHARE:
If you would like to enter the conversation, we want to hear from you!
  • You can share any and all of your work with #H2H by simply tagging us on all social media!
  • Use the hashtags #HamlettoHamilton or #H2H on Twitter, Instagram, Facebook, or YouTube
  • Become a Patreon and join our super-secret Facebook page, where you can share, critique and interact with other verse nerds

CONTENT WARNINGS: If your work contains graphic language or situations, please make sure to put a content warning before you share your work.  Verse is great for dealing with some pretty hefty topics.  So, for the sake of the community, please put warnings as necessary on your work.

SUBMISSIONS:
If you would like your work to be considered for reading and critiquing on-air, please follow these guidelines:
  • Send one page of your verse to hamlettohamilton@gmail.com.  Please note: Submissions of longer than one page will not be read
  • Title the email: [Submission] Title of your piece, Name - such as [Submission] Hamlet, William Shakespeare
  • Attach the text as either a PDF, Word or Google Document
  • In the body of the email, feel free to introduce yourself, the context of the sample, and any helpful links to your work
  • Playwrights may send no more than three submissions/yearly, unless otherwise requested
  • It is encouraged that each submission reflect either a different play, or a significantly different way of writing verse

PLEASE NOTE: If #H2H is interested in booking you, we will follow up with you.  Please do not follow up to make sure we got or read your script.  Please do know that if we do not contact you, it's no reflection on the quality of your script. 

#H2H is an educational podcast, so we're looking for playwrights who are innovating or illuminating something that would be beneficial for all.  We're positive your script is great!  Woo!  Go you!  (Now, don't bug us a lot about whether we read it.  That's...less woo.)

ADDITIONALLY: Since we are gearing this so that educators can have students listen, we will be very cautious about any scripts that contain strong or graphic language.  Similarly, any scripts which are full of hate, racism, sexism, etc. will not be considered at all.

BOOK A SESSION:
If you would like one-on-one work with your new verse play, acting coaching, or curriculum planning, please follow these steps!

  • Don't forget to give an approximate timeframe (e.g., looking for a single hour to go over a soliloquy; interested in meeting for several weeks to workshop my play, etc.)
  • Booking is generally $50/hour, with discounts given for multiple bookings
PATREON BOOKING
  • Become a $40 Patreon during any billing cycle (you can choose to bump up for one month, and then switch to a lower tier in the following month)
  • Follow up with an email to hamlettohamilton@gmail.com, titling the email: [Patreon Session] Name, Request - such as [Patreon Session] William Shakespeare, Acting Help

  • For as long as you're a $40 Patreon, you will be eligible to receive your one hour of one-on-one work with Emily
PLEASE NOTE: #H2H will consider all requests for booking, and accommodate as possible.  Patreons will be given first accommodation.  The number of Patreons at the Booking Tier will be limited, in order to preserve scheduling.

#H2H also retains the right to refuse to offer a booking to any artist for any reason whatsoever.  If money has been paid in advance, and the booking is cancelled by #H2H, #H2H will reimburse for the session.

If a time is booked, and the artist misses their scheduled booking, ONE (1) reschedule will be permitted in that month, with no penalty.  If more than one booking is missed, the artist will be removed from future bookings, and such monies as paid by that date will not be reimbursed.
