Liberté Grace was selected for a 1-week Writer's Residency in 2023 to support the workshopping of RUBY — an original story and feature film concept by Liberté Grace — into a young adult novel and screenplay, under the mentorship of acclaimed poet and writer, Jenny Zhang. Feedback from Zhang on the concept and story narrative, pitched over a 45-minute peer feedback workshop included:

“This is epic. We're at the time scale of ‘Wuthering Heights’ and ‘Forrest Gump’. We're talking about a lifetime, we're talking about multiple lifetimes, we're talking about very, there's a lot… like an epic journey. And there's a lot of different twists and turns, and we're talking about, really, really big stuff. So I think that's incredible. You're like a supernova of creativity.”

Special thanks to Create NSW for their funding of the residency. The novel is currently being completed and is set for release in 2028.
