A Letter from the President

Fall 2008

Dear Subscriber,

This year there is an important change in our annual printed catalogue. We have decided to discontinue including full descriptions of all the plays we represent, which now number over 3,300, and instead limit full descriptions to our new acquisitions. Our new catalogue format will still contain listings of all our titles and authors, but to view descriptions of all of our plays you only have to visit our website at www.dramatists.com.

We decided to make this change because less than two percent of the thousands of applications we receive each year now arrive via mail or fax. We receive an overwhelming 98 percent of applications through the online forms found on our website.

We are extremely pleased about this development, as we believe ours is the best website of its kind on the Internet, and it has long been our goal to make the application process as efficient and easy as possible for you. On the website the majority of applications are approved and licensed within minutes.

This translates to an enormous savings of time and money for everyone, and it also saves on paper, helping us to reduce our environmental footprint. In keeping with these goals, we believe that eliminating the full catalogue and only printing a catalogue of our new plays is the way to proceed in the future. I hope you will agree and that you will avail yourself of all the wonderful features and information that may be found at www.dramatists.com. As always, we welcome your comments and suggestions.

Sincerely,

Stephen Sultan President NEW CATALOGUE 08-09.qxd 8/1/2008 2:50 PM Page 3
