Sep 28 - Oct 3, 2012

• Writing

Are you a writer interested in the creative opportunities brought to us by the digital age? What happens when you put text on a screen? Think deeply about current transformations in reading, writing, and publishing, and what these changes mean to us as readers, writers, and artists. Create stories that mix media with text, stories that utilize the vast potential that the new technologies give us for creating hybrid forms, and stories that find new ways to connect with readers. Plan and create a born digital story on your own and in collaboration. This is an exceptional opportunity to work with a writer who operates at the cutting edge of where fiction meets new technology.
