Flapjack Press, 2024

Rope Ladder Fiction: First Rung brings you the opportunity to experience the beautiful minds of fifteen storytellers, each of whom are taking their first step into the realm of creative writing. Narratives take shape in dynamic forms thanks to these exciting voices and their accompanying biographies, which are stories in themselves. Also documented are the exercises designed by playwright, screenwriter and poet Cathy Crabb, which were used to guide these writers, and so that you can take your first step too - with a handy section for your creative notes. We urge everyone encouraged about the joyful world of storytelling to embrace this provocation as an inclusive and accessible safe space to limitlessly explore. Features new writing by Serena Lukes, Marcus Garland, Libby Hall, Tracy Scott, Dr Sumaira K. Naseem, Christopher Egan, Erykah Blackburn, Louise Croombs, Josh Dixon, Ada Eravarma, Jessica Fay and Umara Khan, plus three short stories from Noah Conway, Amelia Davies and Krishna Jenson, specially chosen by screenwriter Kat Rose-Martin. Rope Ladder Fiction is a Manchester-based drama production company with a focus on social inclusion and innovation. Creatively led by Cameron Roach, previously Director of Drama at SKY TV, it is committed to nurturing next generation talent whilst developing bold character-led narratives. The first commission for Rope Ladder Fiction is Waterloo Road, a co-production with Wall to Wall for BBC One. First Rung marks an important component in building innovative outreach projects for Rope Ladder Fiction.
