A recent report from UKIE (The Association for UK Interactive Entertainment) has found that the UK video games market continues to grow reaching a value of £7.82bn in 2023. But what does the video games industry look like for writers? What skills are needed and what creative opportunities are on offer? How are writers contracted and how are they paid? What of the importance of collective voice in this sector, of inclusivity and diversity concerns and what of the need for cross-industry participation and collaboration? And what of the tech and what of the future? Join SoA Advisory Clinic hosts Johanna Clarke and Theo Jones for this end-of-series bonus-double-episode-special as they speak to a number of leading writers and UKIE itself, for an illuminating exploration of the issues at play. Featuring writers Stark Holborn, Brian Baglow, Prof Mata Haggis-Burridge and Dom Shaw from UKIE. Show notes:  Not a member?
