One Member says...
I am an emerging playwright. I joined ICWP five years ago as I wrote my first play while nursing and raising my two young children. .... I was, and continue to be, a lone writer, with only my dramatic associations to guide me. Important things I have learned, among other things on this site, are: how women playwrights are still vastly underrepresented in theater, how others submit, how plays are produced, submission etiquette, the distinction b/w a guild and a union, what my rights are as a writer, and most importantly, that a group of people dedicated to one purpose is an invaluable resource to a woman writing alone.

We encourage you to participate in whatever way you can. Members and supporters of all levels can play a part in creating a successful International Centre of Women Playwrights.
Each member pays dues relative to their ability to pay, on an honor basis, with the option of deferred dues in exchange for service to the organization. Your support will help provide more benefits and resources for Women Playwrights.
