FAQ's
DO YOU ACCEPT UNSOLICITED SCRIPTS?
Yes! A part of our mission is to work with new and undiscovered talent. Be sure to read through our website and previous work so that you have an idea as to the kind of scripts we will likely be interested in.
WHERE DO I NEED TO BE BASED IN ORDER TO SUBMIT MY WORK?
We will only be able to fully develop scripts and work towards creating live pieces of theatre with applicants who are based in the UK. For audio dramas, we are happy to consider work from applicants based outside of the UK.
WOULD YOU STILL PROVIDE SCRIPT CONSULTATION IF I AM BASED OUT OF THE UK?
Yes, although this is on a case by case basis. When you submit your work to us, make sure to disclose that you are based outside of the UK and be clear about what it is you would like us to assist you with.
DO YOU ACCEPT SCRIPTS FOR MUSICALS?
We do not accept scripts for musical pieces.
ARE THERE ANY OTHER GENRES YOU WILL NOT ACCEPT?
Not necessarily, but when submitting your work it is best to use common sense. Think about the themes and the way in which the story is told. If you are unsure, please ask!
"WICKED WOMEN"...? DOES THAT MEAN I CANNOT SUBMIT MY WORK IF I AM A MAN?
Of course you can! Harpy is run by 'Wicked Women' but that doesn't mean you have to identify as one! Our Production Company is definitely more focused on working with female-identifying persons and minority groups, but that does not mean we will exclude your work if you have a great idea! Cis-gender / male-identifying persons are welcome also.
I HAVE SUBMITTED A PIECE OF WORK BUT HAVE NOT HEARD BACK FROM YOU?
Noga and Katie work independently on various projects outside of Harpy Productions, and so will not always be available to monitor the Harpy email box. However, they are committed to answering as many emails as possible and provide feedback to everyone who has submitted their work for consideration.
IF MY SUBMISSION IS SUCCESSFUL, WHAT HAPPENS THEN?
There are a few stages after the initial submission process. But to start with, if Harpy Productions is interested in potentially developing your work, we will first arrange a zoom call to meet with and learn more about you, the original writer. This will also be a chance to share any notes we have on the piece and share ideas as to the route we could take to develop it. (If there are any other individuals attached to the piece, we would like to meet with them as well).
