Playwrights Making Money With Their Published Plays

<p>On May 1^st, I signed close to 300 checks. Pioneer Drama Service, Inc. was paying their playwrights their royalties. Checks ranged from only fifty-five cents to over one hundred fifty thousand dollars.</p><p>When a play is published, many playwrights have dreams of making millions of dollars. However, when writing for the amateur market, it&rsquo;s difficult to tell what plays are going to be successful. I have been surprised at how well certain shows do. I am equally surprised at how some shows do not bring in any dollars.</p><p>If you are published, never expect financial success. Be proud you&rsquo;re your play was chosen out of hundred of submissions to be published. The royalty check is simply the icing on the cake. (Though some icings taste better than others.)</p> 10 application/xml false amateur checks dollars market money playwright playwriting publish royalties royalty Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US) AppleWebKit/532.5 (KHTML, like Gecko) Chrome/4.0.249.89 Safari/532.5 127.0.0.1 127.0.0.1 $Admin 173.160.40.189 false true false false true 100516 blog blogsite/PioneerDrama/web
