Come learn how playing w/ hypertext and interactivity offers excellent opportunities to rethink all kinds of writing— fiction, poetry, & nonfiction, as well as longer scholarly projects. This wksp is two days of hands-on how-to-ism, mini-lectures, & project showcase inspiration +
I should note that while this workshop isn’t focused on pedagogy per se, we will cover strategies for working collaboratively in @twinethreads, which is the software we will be focusing on during these sessions. +
We’ll also cover some basics of organizing this kind of digital projects. On the tech side that means exploring methods for serving sound & image, plus how-to corral a variety of free-tier & open source services, and how to use Scrivener to support research or longform projects +
