So, many moons ago, I sat down and wrote a play. Then I rewrote it. Then I rewrote it again. And again. And a bit more after that. Then I sent it off to the other side of the world. Eight months later, early on a Tuesday morning I got a phone call from John Donatich telling me that my little play had won the Yale Drama Series Award. That was enough. They didn't have to fly me to New York, rehearse my play, throw me a party, make John Guare hug me (he may have done that by himself) and then publish my play. That's right. It's getting published. In September. I know. So long to wait. What are you going to do? Oh wait, I have the answer. You can go here and pre-order me. You only have 152 days to wait. I suggest you use this time to write your own play and get it into the Yale Drama Series Award by August 15th.

Congratulations! I was looking for a place to get my play published when I found New Light Shine. I'm thinking about submitting my play this year. But I'll have to do it be August 15th. A little scary but I'm up for the challenge! Once again congratulations on winning! Any tips? XD
Thanks very much Lem. It's been quite the ride so far. I heartily endorse everything about the Yale Prize. They are good, good people and well worth the postage fee. I wish I had some tips but I just got very, very lucky. Hope that luck rubs off on you. cheers, Shannon
