Welcome to La Trobe University’s Clever Conversations.
This episode explores what it takes to make a book-to-screen adaptation with Clare Wright, who is a La Trobe Associate Professor in History and Anne Kenney, the award-winning Hollywood writer, and executive producer and scriptwriter for popular TV series, Outlander.
Speaking together at the Australian Centre for the Moving Image, Clare and Anne discuss the book that has connected their worlds – The Forgotten Rebels of Eureka.

The discussion is facilitated by Danielle Binks, who is a writer, reviewer, youth literature advocate and literary agent.
