Jellybone

Kate Pullinger - Jellybone
Jellybone is a novel for smartphones. Across 10 episodes, it tells the story of Flo, who can communicate with the dead through her phone. A young Londoner facing mounting debt, stuck in an unpaid internship, living at home with her dad, in love with her best friend, the last thing Flo needs in her life is yet another incomprehensible ghost video. But then a message arrives from Lana who has been dead for more than three years, and Flo is forced to act.

Jellybone was created by Kate with the team behind the start-up Oolipo. Available for free on both iOS and Android, each episode takes between ten to twenty minutes to read.

‘Inanimate Alice’ is an on-going project that Kate has been working on since 2005 alongside collaborators Chris Joseph, Andy Campbell, and producer Ian Harper. Episodes 1-5 reside online and are free. 2016 has seen the launch of a brand-new episode, Episode Six, The Last Gas Station, alongside a downloadable Teacher’s Edition of the first five episodes. As well as the new episode, the website itself has been updated and it now includes the truly wonderful Digital Gallery of reader-created episodes – episodes of ‘Inanimate Alice’ made by young people all over the world.

As well as that, the team behind ‘Inanimate Alice’, expanded to include the wonderful Australian digital writer and artist, Mez Breeze, made a successful bid for co-production funding to the Canada Media Fund and Screen Australia in order to develop a series of interactive stories called ‘Perpetual Nomads’. Kate will be working as Story Consultant on this project.
