Derry Playhouse Writers

DPW MISSION

We are writers of poetry, novels, plays, short stories, biography, autobiography, scripts (for both film and television), and essays.

Our Mission is to assist writers with improving their craft by providing a structure that will aid their completion of works-in-progress. We represent a variety of visions and voices. We span borders, ideologies, spiritual beliefs, gender and generations.

The ultimate goal of our group is to assist writers in their endeavor to have their work(s) published and/or performed. To this end we meet weekly to discuss work-in progress and critique these.

We facilitate master classes and workshops to aid our development as writers. We also convene work sessions with authors, agents, producers and publishers to enhance our marketing and promotional skills.
