Writers have included Will Arbery (Heroes of the Fourth Turning at Playwrights Horizons) Chiara Atik (Women, Five Times in One Night), Clare Barron (2019 Pulitzer Prize finalist for Dance Nation), Olivia Dufault (Legion, Preacher) and Leah Nanako Winkler (winner of 2018 Yale Drama Series for God Said This).
