Creative Reading &
Writing
are still vital skills for
full participation in society
My typewriter used to be the only way
to get my words shared and into print
Now there are other ways
We don’t need publishers like we used to
Let’s not worry about the industry’s problems
but look at what changes mean for
readers and writers
Digital possibilities
For the NEARLYWRITER
SELF PUBLISHING
MULTI MEDIA
ILLUMINATION
GAMEPLAY
INTERACTION
COLLABORATION…
The Experience of
The Book
happens
in our heads
and our hearts
Why promote
Paper
When it’s words
We love?
We do need collaborators, coaches, curators…
..and the ability to be self critical, charting our own course
“the most important
thing is to publish in
people’s hearts”
STORIES TO TOUCH
Developing multi-lingual books
for iPads; researching their
use in London schools with

DANS MON REVE
WHO LET THE FART OUT?
THE NUMBERLEYS
As a judge of the Bologna Ragazzi
Digital Prize and a researcher into
the use of iPad apps in schools, it’s
great to see literary quality and
imagination are still what really
matter
New platforms allow new kinds of playful engagement with story
Collaborative
Writing..
like the 24 HOUR NOVEL

Community of readers, online and off,
exploring a theme, making new work…

IF:BOOK CAFE
The Future of the Book Place
The Unlibrary
What do we need when we bring
our library with us in our laptop?
WI FI
Space to make PROFILES
MEET UPS to connect with other
users
The All-Nighter
Keeping the library open throughout world book night
helped us imagine it afresh
This award is an incentive to writers to make
new kinds of literature to be experienced on screen
The Dreamspace of the Book
This is what we really need to preserve

The Nearlywriter, Stories To Touch and the if:book Cafe

Hinweis der Redaktion

  1. This is truer than ever
  2. Bought this recently. How things have changed – THE ONLY WAY to reproduce our words ALSO.. THE BREATHING SPACE between thinking and reading and writing
  3. Because we don’t need publishers, Don’t need authorities telling us what we can and cant do What we can and can’t read
  4. 12. Because if we don’t have people on high to tell us if we’re REAL WRITERS, we need collaborators and peers to help us realise the digital possibilities for literature define what we really want to achieve in our work to help us in the creation, editing, design, promotion, deal making and marketing.. We need to be part of a community.
  5. 2007 Creative Writing & New Media MA Met Bon Stein at institute… Began the debate about the future of the book
  6. Exactly the role of ‘us lot’ – literature development, libraries, booklovers…
  7. WHAT BENJAMIN SAID In this project Set out the stall afresh – how do you define your own terms>? Collaborative writing Twitter poem Online workshops Creative Prevarication.. Not wasting time Songwriting challenge Classic poems
  8. working with publishers Wingedchariot and funding from the Gulbenkian foundation we’re researching how six schools in London respond to picture books on the iPad, specially written stories translated into all of the 14 languages spoken in the school. Winged Chariot make beautiful books for the iPad, showing real concern about the quality of the reading experience, books to curl up with and get lost in rather than to play with. FANTASTIC teacher Paul Greenwood whose classroom is rich with digital and other resources. MOST INTERESTING lunchtime children not all wanting to use the digital.. A range of tools
  9. 1st YEAR – AMAZING OPPORTUNITY … A start up, a megacorp, a classic story well told.
  10. An active relationship – we read then we make something .. No more couch potatoes NEW FORMS – NEED TO RECOGNISE LITERARY QUALITY IN NEW FORMS …
  11. Collaborate in new ways
  12. We’ve also been experimenting with COLLABORATIVE READING projects BOOK GROUPS CHANGED READING FOR MANY INTO A PUBLIC ACTIVITY NEW WAYS TO DO BOOKS - SOCIAL READING platforms… But more than that: Do we need a whole new model for how we CURATE an experience around particular ideas. RICARDO BLAUG’S BOOK… this strange kind of academic publishing - We wanted to open up the book’s themes. We worked with an MA student from Goldsmiths College looking at the skills of CURATOR
  13. . ifsobooks are reading experiences, designed for schools and bookgroups, involving real interactivity. We’re piloting Story Park by David Almond; POETMORE, a digital poetry anthology for schools, because we need to create the nearlywriters of tomorrow!
  14. Publishers need to go back to their first principals, their love of story and free thinking. Can you free yourselves to think clearly about what works now?? Look at the keys on our typewriter, colours in our pallette…
  15. Time to make new kinds of writing about our NEARLY lives. . Made in public Involving others
  16. FREE SERVICES THREATENED NOW NEED A RESILIENT MODEL THE IF;BOOK CAFÉ, A TILL, POP UPABLE
  17. Anke Holst The PROFILES The PORTABLE Bookshop AMPLIFIED AUTHOR event with Andrea et al.
  18. REIMAGINING THE LIBRARY
  19. Finally THE NEW MEDIA WRITING PRIZE is open to writers and makers. It’s about the quality of the storytelling first. But of course once you’ve found something good it’s easy to spread the word and link to the point of sale.   This year I judged the BOLOGNA RAGAZZI DIGITAL AWARD.. won by a new start up.. WE WANT TO encourage literary mind to engage with telling new kinds of stories
  20. DREAMSPACE WE need COLLABORATORS To help us find our way, improve our Closures – people think of this as a lost cause POP UP LIBRARIES – an exciting idea, Librariness doesn’t belong to the state
