Open to established children’s book writers, novelists, playwrights, screen writers, graphic novelists and games developers, the programme aims to broaden networks and find common ground to create characters and worlds.

You will share practice and experiences, build new ideas and projects across a variety of media together and develop ideas and projects reproducible in two or more forms e.g. a book and a film, a game and a graphic novel, a children’s picture book and a play, etc. Following an intensive week long residency, you’ll have support to present those projects to industry.

It all starts with an exciting Open Weekend in the beautiful Barcelo Stirling Highland Hotel on 19th and 20th November 2011.

You will enjoy inspirational conversations with peers and writers who have had experience and successes across genres; advice on intellectual property and how to exploit it; and exercises and workshops to get you mingling across artforms. Advisors from across forms - Jenny Brown, David Griffith, Mark Grindle and Fiona Sturgeon Shea - will be on hand to encourage, matchmake and answer questions on the process. Speakers and case studies include Tom Knights (Games developer), Rona Munro (Playwright), Phil Parker (NyAC) and Ken Marr (Targeting Innovation).

More details on speakers will be released soon - watch the website
