THE FUTURE OF WRITING
27 Feb 2006, 3pm-5pm
De Montfort University, Leicester, UK
Clephan Building 0.03 - 3-5pm
This event is free.The death of the book has been falsely foretold
many times; in this age of proliferating media it is clear that the
book will not disappear but will have to fight for its place. What
are the challenges for writers today? What does the new media have to
offer writers? And, vitally, what does the new media have to offer
readers?
Seminar featuring:
- Christina Patterson, (Deputy Literary Editor of The Independent)
- Michael Powell, (Course Leader for Game Art, De Montfort University)
- Kate Pullinger, novelist & new media writer
- Sue Thomas, (Professor of New Media at De Montfort University)
Chaired by Professor Andrew Hugill, (De Montfort University, Music Technology)
