What is Workshop Live?:

Workshop Live is a workshop practice that we have discovered helps a playwright develop their piece more than a traditional workshop. We find well qualified actors to participate in these workshops to give life to your words. But we go a step further and livestream the workshop to world. We give the audience the chance to give feedback and offer suggestions.

What we expect from the Playwright?:

We want our playwrights to be as involved as they want to be. We typically use Backstage to find talent for our virtual workshops since we can search the globe to find the best person for the job, and we can add the playwright as a contributor if they would want to help in the final stages of casting.

How do I submit?

Please submit all plays via Submittable: https://theparagonjournal.submittable.com/submit

We are launching a new project!

Aftercare: A S*x Positive Journal brings a positive conversation around s*xuality and s*x. S*x positive involves having positive attitudes about s*x and feeling comfortable with one's own s*xual identity and with the s*xual behaviors of others, and destigmatizing s*x.

Hi Friends! Things are changing and we have some exciting news!

We have merged with The Pharmacy Theatre. They are going to continue the great work that we started. With the merger, we have made some changes. We will only be publishing two literary magazines (The Paragon Journal and The Martian Chronicle). But with the merger with the theatre, we are now a 501c3 nonprofit and are looking to expand our publications of novellas, plays, and chapbooks.

We are glad that many of you have stuck with us during this change, and all of us at the Paragon Press want to thank you for the journey.

This 4th of July please take a moment to listen to the words of Frederick Douglass spoken by his descendants.

Powerful doesn’t begin to describe it.

The U.S. celebrates this Independence Day amid calls for systemic reform. In this film, five descendants of Frederick Douglass read excerpts of his speech, "What to the Slave is the Fourth of July?"
