Can I join for only 1 year?
Anyone who joins The Dramatists Guild and becomes a member is welcome to stay a member for as long as they like. Whether that's for a month, a year, or for the entirety of their writing career. Of course, we here at the Guild much prefer the latter. As the only trade association that protects the rights of playwrights, librettists, lyricists, and composers, we take pride in the services and benefits we provide to our members. The Dramatists Guild has been supporting writers of the theatre since 1919, and we hope to continue well into the future. And of course, we hope that you will stay with us through that journey. Because while we provide our members with helpful career services and member benefits, we also provide members with a supportive and helpful community of writers. All of whom are more than willing to help their fellow artists in their path as a theatre writer. The Dramatists Guild is passionate about supporting our members! And we hope that you make the choice to stay with the Guild for as long as possible.
You can stay a member for as long as you like. And the Dramatists Guild will support you every step of the way.
