Write for us

Grand Theatre Review welcomes pitches that help curious readers see theatre with fresh attention. Send proposals through the Contact page, with enough detail for us to understand the subject, angle and intended reader.

What we welcome

We consider essays on playwriting, performance, stagecraft, theatre history and interpretation. A strong piece may explain a theatrical choice, compare distinct approaches, clarify a convention or explore a well-defined question about how a performance works.

A useful pitch

Tell us the central idea in a few sentences, why it matters to a general theatre reader and what material or examples the piece would use. Include a working title and a brief outline of the proposed shape. Pitches should make a fresh, focused contribution rather than promise a sweeping account of theatre.

Writing with care

Use clear language and explain specialist terms when they first appear. Distinguish what can be observed from what you infer, and avoid unsupported claims about artists or audiences. Do not send confidential material or assume that a pitch has been accepted; we will consider proposals on their individual merits.
