There is no single route to becoming a screenwriter, as our guests’ diverse backgrounds show. From live performances on stage to writing for board games, the combined experience of the panellists encompasses theatre, film, episodic drama, children’s programmes, graphic novels and games.

This conversation will be an opportunity to discuss the challenges of moving from theatre to screen, and from short to long-form screenwriting. It will also offer the chance to discover our guests’ passions and inspirations, and how they are building up their credits in the industry.
