Welcome.  We’ve been going for 21 years, initially as Yorkshire Playwrights.  After a period of grant-aid and staff, we’re now all volunteers again.  Leaner and meaner, as befits the times.  We’re still campaigning for new writing for radio, tv, film and theatre by writers from and in Yorkshire and Humberside. Through branches and centrally we run several script nights a year across the region; have talks from leading writers (Chris Reason, Alan Bennett and  David Nobbs last year); have our own members-only email chat group; and send out a monthly newsletter of opportunities and reports, as well as running this website.

Here’s more about us if you’re interested.

Our branches are lively, take a look at your nearest one or just browse what they’re up to.

Here’s information about our members’ work.

If you are a member, log in down the left for the members’ only area: one of the perks of the modest subscription you can find out about here.
