Making your Edinburgh show stand out above all the rest is hard. We're here to help you use our unique online resources to promote, share, meet and learn to ensure your production's a success in every respect.
Participants - gone are the days of your expensive fliers carpeting the floor of a wet Royal Mile. Find out how you can use the latest digital technology to promote your show before, during and after to get the very most out of the Fringe.
NETWORK
Groups: Join our special Edinburgh Fringe networking group to find others taking shows to the fringe before you get there and share your production with the world. Find out the secret spots in Edinburgh others love and share your top tips for a perfect festival.
Create a group for your own company and/or production and share rehearsal updates, news stories, web links, reviews and promote your show. The most buzzing groups will be promoted on the site and shared on our social media channels to help you get the packed houses and audiences you need.
Meet: Find forgotten festival friends and shiny new ones alike on our dedicated social network. If it's your first year up at the fringe, make sure you're not alone by finding others attending before you go. Search and befriend companies and individuals that you can pool resources with, and find audience members to promote your show to, even when the rain's driven everyone off the mile!
Forum: Share details about your show on our Edinburgh section of the forum. Meet others who are attending, find other shows from your venue, and sell your production to audience members and other participants alike.
SHARE
Press Releases: Send us your press releases and if we like the look of your show, it might just be picked for our Fringe Friday selection every week where we share our inklings for what the big hits of the festival will be.
We've also got a ready and eager reviewing team set to storm Edinburgh. If you want coverage on StageWon through a review just drop us a mail and we'll arrange someone to see the show.
Performance Space: As well as promoting on groups, forums and individual profiles, StageWon premium members can upload videos, links and written pieces to our Performance Space. Share a snazzy trailer or a snippet of your work to wet your audience's appetite. We'll be picking some of our top picks from the performance space in the run up to and during the fringe, so be sure to post all your promotional activity for professional feedback, support and an interactive way to promote to the world.
Theatrepedia: Be sure to add your new work (and information on productions of older ones) to Theatrepedia, our unique online play database. Give people information about your (currently!) unheard master pieces before the fringe begins and continue the legacy of the work long after.
Once you're done sharing this year's work, use the tool to research other shows to see and start planning next year's success by researching the thousands already in our database.
LEARN
Master Classes: Watch our online Master Classes to cover every aspect of your production's success. If it's your first time taking a show up (or if you're a seasoned attendee who just wants a recap on getting the most out of your show) our Producing and Directing for the Fringe is essential viewing, as we take you through the vital elements of what makes a successful Fringe production.
If you're performing at the fringe, we've a special Boot Camp Master Class on 22 July to help get your performance skills ship-shape and ready for the critics.
