Author Sir Terry Pratchett has set up a multimedia production company, Narrativia, to hold exclusive worldwide rights to all of his work across film, television, merchandising, and digital media.

The new company is headed by managing director Rod Brown, and based in Soho, central London. Other directors of the company are Pratchett’s business manager Rob Wilkins, and his daughter, writer Rhianna Pratchett.

Pratchett said: “This is an exciting and natural development for me and my works, and I look forward to working closely with the team to develop new stories in areas other than just print and e-books and, of course, seeing my first big screen project come to fruition.”

Brown said: “This is a dream challenge for me. Having worked very happily with Terry, Rob and Rhianna over the past decade on the three mini series for Sky 1, I have grown to love the world and characters Terry has created so when Terry invited me to head up the company for him, it was easy to say yes.”
