Screenwriter Debbie Moon to join Euro Scriptchat on Sunday the 12th of May

Creating a new world that is authentic, believable and easy to engage with is an art and an important tool to every Fantasy and Sci-Fi writer. How can this be achieved; when is it too much? Is one easily transported into the new world, no questions asked or are we too distracted by the rules that we fail to follow the plot?
Join us as we are guided through the creation of the new worlds by our next guest, Fantasy and Sci-Fi Screenwriter Debbie Moon, on Sunday the 12th of May 2013.


 Debbie Moon is a film and television writer living in mid-Wales. Her novel, Falling (Honno Press) was shortlisted for Welsh Book Of The Year. She has written for CBBC's The Sparticle Mystery, and is the creator and lead writer of the RTS-award-winning CBBC fantasy drama series Wolfblood. She also has a couple of feature scripts, and a supernatural drama series, in development.

 Come join us as we chat to @DebbieBMoon on Sunday the 12th of May at 8pm BST.
