    Welcome to the NEW, IMPROVED print edition of The Dramatists Guild Resource Directory, 14th edition. Each year we’ll add features that we think our members will find important to their lives as dramatists. This year, in addition to the standard submission opportunities and resources, you’ll notice that we’ve offered templates for formatting plays and musicals, we’ve posted a Dramatist Bill of Rights so you’ll always know your rights and protections in whatever situation you find yourself in; we’ve published our statement of submission fees and offered you a variety of resources when you travel out and about or are looking for an avenue for education.
