Six exciting emerging screenwriters join us from across the UK for a conversation about their craft, their passions and their writing process. Amongst them is a cop-turned-writer, a community pharmacist-turned-novelist and two screenwriters who started as actors. But all six have had original pathways into screenwriting. They have been working in theatre, radio, television and film. Their credits include Small Axe, Vigil, Lockerbie and plays that received critical acclaim. Join us to celebrate the power of storytelling.
