Sharna Jackson on Barges

On this episode, we meet Sharna Jackson who chats to Hannah Nicklin about barges.

Sharna Jackson is a British game writer, artistic director and author. Before writing full time she was artistic director at Site Gallery in Sheffield, on the board of Sheffield Doc/Fest - a film festival that focuses on documentaries - and an advisor on several projects centering on children. Her award-winning books for children - around tween age, 10+ - as well as being great fun, are also interested in lifting up voices lesser heard in fiction. She is also the curator of ENSEMBLE - a UK based exhibition which celebrates UK games talent from Black, Asian and underrepresented ethnicities.
