Write for us

Rising Stage Review welcomes clear, original contributions about the choices involved in making amateur theatre. Send a proposal through the Contact page before drafting a full piece.

What we welcome

Pitch explanatory pieces, comparisons, planning approaches, reflective craft essays and useful perspectives on scripts, rehearsal, direction, design or production. Strong contributions help readers understand a choice and consider what may suit their own group. Keep the subject focused and the language accessible to readers with different levels of experience.

A useful pitch

Tell us the proposed title or subject, the main point you want readers to take away, who the piece is for and how you would develop it. Mention any relevant experience or interests that could shape your perspective. Do not include confidential material or make claims that cannot be supported.

How to send it

Send proposals through the Contact page and choose the editorial question option, noting that your message is a contribution pitch. Please wait for a response before preparing a complete draft. We consider proposals for fit, clarity and reader value; sending one does not guarantee publication.
