One Scriba Festival

Every year we celebrate writing in all its forms—fiction, screenwriting, and theatre. Three categories, one mission: shining a light on the authors behind each story.

One Scriba curates a series of creative writing festivals each year. Every edition focuses on a specific craft—fiction, screenwriting, or theatre—offering cash prizes and visibility to outstanding authors.

The festival blends readings, workshops, and roundtables with industry professionals, creating a meeting point for writers, editors, and readers.

Categories

  • Short fiction and novels
  • Screenwriting
  • Playwriting and dramaturgy
Stories fill the world; the festival is where they come together.
