Sub Spree – Day 5

I’m all geared up to visit my parents so that I can offer as much assistance as possible, given my mother’s health.

But I am determined that I am going to keep up with the submissions spree as far as practicable.

As such, I have managed to send out a number of emails to amateur theatre societies, asking if they would be interested in my works.

Given the way I have created the emails, I’m fairly sure that they will at least look at the plays, as I have pointed out that my works have won a number of awards and that I run performance fees in a manner that works better for amateur groups (ie, they only pay after the final performance when they have the money – and their payment is based on total ticket sales).

But the real excitement of the day came from the reviewer of Denim. I received an email from her this morning saying that she had contacted a professional friend of hers. She then included a cut-and-paste of what this friend has said.

Effectively it was a request to forward a manuscript to a provided address…

That address was one of the best known theatres in London! And this comment was from the company manager of this theatre!

So a freshly printed manuscript is now in the post to London. I know it’s a long shot, but there is something exciting about having one of your won manuscripts heading to such a well established and respected theatre.

Given the fact that I will be at my parent this weekend, I can’t guarantee that I will be blogging for Days 6 and 7… But I’ll be doing my best.
