LMDA Bulletin
The LMDA Bulletin is our monthly email newsletter that highlights both our organization and our talented members. While we welcome all subscribers, please note that we only accept submissions from LMDA members.
On the Members Only LMDA Bulletin page, you can access archives of past Bulletins, browse featured articles, and explore the former "LMDA Newsletter" archives.
We encourage our LMDA members to share their news, publications, and other exciting updates via the submission forms on the LMDA Bulletin page. We love hearing from you and sharing your successes with our community!
Dramaturgy Listserv
The Dramaturgy Listserv, sponsored by LMDA, is an email-based discussion group that allows dramaturgs, literary managers, and other interested parties to post questions, discuss issues, and engage in conversations related to their field. A Listserv is a type of software that manages the email addresses of subscribers and sends email messages to all subscribers when a message is posted to the list. By subscribing to the Dramaturgy Listserv, you can connect with other professionals in your field, share knowledge and ideas, and stay up-to-date on the latest developments in dramaturgy.
Social Media
Connect with LMDA on social media to stay up-to-date on the latest news and events in the world of dramaturgy! Follow us on Facebook, Twitter, and Instagram to engage with our community, learn about new opportunities, and share your own accomplishments.
We also have regional Facebook groups that are moderated by LMDA members. These groups provide a space for local dramaturgs to connect and share information, and they are a great way to get involved with LMDA on a more local level.

Review
Review is the annual journal of dramaturgy published by Literary Managers and Dramaturgs of the Americas. Unlike our monthly LMDA Bulletin, Review provides a space for in-depth exploration of dramaturgy and ongoing conversation about the work of the dramaturg and the literary manager, as well as their relationship to all stages of theatre-making.
Our mission is to provide a venue for diverse perspectives and critical discourse on the role of dramaturgy in contemporary theatre. We welcome submissions from all writers, regardless of professional affiliation, as well as submissions on topics related to dramaturgy at any level. Inquiries to the editor are encouraged in advance of all submissions.
Learn more about Review, read the latest issue, and submit your work.
Slack
We're excited to announce that we're adding Slack to our suite of member benefits! Slack is a professional messaging platform that allows members to communicate with each other in real-time, share resources, and collaborate on projects.
This new feature will be exclusively available to our LMDA members and will provide a private and secure space for professional communication. Whether you're looking to connect with fellow dramaturgs, share ideas, or seek advice, Slack is the perfect platform to do so.
We'll be rolling out Slack to our members soon, so keep an eye out for more information on how to access this exciting new benefit!
