Dramatic Monologue Submission Guidelines

​

As storytellers we can use our voices to share a wealth of stories with our audience, tales of joy and heartbreak, celebration or satire, revolution or romance. For the VOICES anthology, we are looking for truly uplifting, thought provoking and powerful dramatic monologues from UoG students and alumni. They might be urgent, startling, hilarious, ambitious. This is a snapshot of a moment in time. Go on… shout it from the hills (or whisper it under your breath)! How will you use your voice?

​

  • We can’t wait to read your work! Please carefully follow our submission guidelines.

  • We will read all dramatic monologues (max. 1000 words)

  • Each piece should be self-contained. 

  • We accept one submission per author.

  • Please submit using 11-point, Arial or Times New Roman fonts using.doc or .docx or MS Word doc. and 1.5 line spacing.

  • We ask that monologues are the submitter’s own, original work and that they own all publication rights.

  • All work should include the title in the header with page numbers at the bottom.

  • We are very happy to accept unpublished monologues and those previously published in magazines only. For the latter, please give details in the submissions email.

  • Please submit your entries to: Voicesanthologyuog@gmail.com with ‘Monologue Submission’ in the subject box.

  • Please also include a 50-word biography in the submissions email. We would like to know about you and your writing!

  • Your work will be read anonymously by the editors.

  • If you have been successful you will be contacted by the editors within five weeks of submitting. 

  • Occasionally the editor may suggest edits but will liaise with writers.

​

​

The editors’ decision is final, and although we would love to, we are unfortunately unable to offer feedback. Sorry.
