Writing a musical can feel lonely, especially when your social circles don’t include folks in the theatre industry. At Academy, you’ll be surrounded by folks who’ve been there and understand the joys and frustrations of writing and developing a show. Need advice? We got you. Need encouragement? We’re here. Need a referral? Use our network. Looking for a collaborator? Let’s get together! The MusicalWriters Academy community is your new creative cheer squad!

I love the camaraderie. The solidarity. The kindness between people. It’s not a competition, or if it is, it’s like we’re all on the same team.

One of the most popular aspects of MusicalWriters Academy is our monthly Writer Groups, which are included free with membership. These groups meet remotely and allow you to share your work and receive peer and professional feedback. We also have the Academy Reading Series, where you can submit your show, participate in Pitch Night, and receive a free staged reading by our strong network of talent, industry pros, and partner theatres.

Want to build your network of industry pros? Have questions for those working on and off Broadway? Academy members enjoy Special Guest Q&As and exclusive Talk Time and Masterclasses with Producers, Directors, Actors, Music Directors, and many others with industry experience and wisdom to share.

All downloadable resources on MusicalWriters.com are free to Academy members, including the member-favorite Ultimate Musical Writers Planner, our exclusive MusicalWriters.com Final Draft template, Character Development worksheets, and more!
