This event brings together writers and creators from within the gaming industry to cast a light on the ins and outs, triumphs and frustrations of writing for games and interactive narrative fiction. The event will be moderated by Lindsay J. Sedgwick, Screenwriter-in-Residence at Maynooth University and Kildare Co.
