Who it is for

For writers with an idea.

Story Forum Basel is aimed at writers from Germany, France and Switzerland working on their own material — especially at the transition between training and professional life, where exchange and guidance make the greatest difference.

01

Right at the start

Projects at the idea stage — before the format is fixed and before financing begins.

02

Open to any format

Film, theatre, literature, audio drama, composition, choreography, extended reality or games.

03

Three countries

The roundtables are balanced by language, nationality and gender.

04

Free of charge

One day per project, in a closed and moderated round. Participation is free.

Projects are invited through a trinational call. To take part next time, join the Writers Rooms list below.
