Getting Started and Staying In – How to start and build a career in game narrative

‘All’ that you require to start writing is an idea and passion, but what if you want to turn that drive into a career? If you’re already writing how can you take your experience and translate it into a new medium? And, once you’re there, how can you build and sustain a career? What balance of art, craft, soft skills and industry information do you need to work in game narrative?Hosted and organised by the Writers’ Guild of Great Britain and sponsored by Fusebox Games, please join our panellists for questions and discussions.
