DSF Writers Search

Based on the career and work of Sordid Lives creator and playwright/director/producer Del Shores, we are the Del Shores Foundation with a mission to identify and support Southern LGBTQ+ playwrights and screenwriters. We're excited to share that our inaugural Del Shores Foundation Writers Search has officially launched and we are currently accepting scripts!

This is an opportunity for southern LGBTQ+ writers to tell their stories and have their talents recognized. We are accepting plays, feature films, short films, and web series scripts for cash awards, grants toward production, and opportunities to meet with producers in Los Angeles. 

We will create a waiver code for free submission for your members and audience if you would be interested in helping us connect with Southern LGBTQ+ writers by sharing the attached flyer in an eblast, newsletter, social media, listing or with colleagues, members, or associates you think might have a script or be interested.
