Playbill, Inc. is hiring: Editorial/Writing Seeking LGBTQ+ Playwrights for an Up

Seeking LGBTQ+ Playwrights for an Upper Manhattan Writers Group

I’m a Washington Heights-based playwright, performer, and producer looking to start a queer-focused writers group in Upper Manhattan. My work explores queer themes and stories, and I’d love to connect with other playwrights who share that passion.

After recently applying to a writers group, I figured—why not create my own? I know many artists live uptown, yet we often find ourselves commuting to midtown or Brooklyn just to create. Let’s build an artistic home right here in Upper Manhattan—a space where we can meet, share works-in-progress, and support each other without the long trek.

What I’m Looking For:

1. Queer playwrights based in Upper Manhattan (Washington Heights, Harlem, Inwood, etc.)
2. Writers who want to meet weekly or biweekly to exchange feedback
3. A commitment to creating a supportive space centered on LGBTQ+ narratives
4. We’ll decide on a mutually convenient location (or rotate hosting)
5. The group structure will be based on the needs of the members
6. The goal is community, creativity, and collaboration

Timeframe & Commitment:

1. Trial period of 6 weeks to start, with a check-in after that to decide next steps
2. We’ll meet weekly or biweekly (final schedule TBD based on availability)
3. I work a day job, so I’m looking for writers who are available to meet in the evenings or weekends
4. Interest form closes on February 25th, with the goal of starting the group by mid-March

If this sounds like something you’d be into, I’d love to hear from you!
