Writers and publishers have always needed readers, but do they now need to build reader communities?
What distinguishes a community from an audience and why might writers and publishers need to build such communities?
What are the implications for the writer‐reader and publisher‐reader relationship?
To explore these questions further, Creative Conversations, in collaboration with the Department of Creative Professions and Digital Arts at the University of Greenwich, invites you to attend Building Reader Communities, a panel talk on the new space of publishing on the 2nd of March.
The evening will begin with welcome drinks at 6pm in the Stephen Lawrence Gallery Project Space which is based within the University of Greenwich Stockwell Street Building. The Building can be located at 10 Stockwell Street, Greenwich, London, SE109BD.
Panelists Include:
Auriol Bishop & Alex Pheby,co‐directors of Greenwich Book Festival
Meike Ziervogel, novelist and founder of Peirene Press
Alexis Kennedy, CEO of interactive fiction studio Failbetter Games
Kate Russell, tech reporter and author of 'Elite: Mostly Harmless', a sci-fi novel based in the Elite Game World
The event is free, but we do require you to register in order to attend. Please find the registration form here: https://www.eventbrite.co.uk/e/creative-conversations-building-reader-communities-tickets-21300202479
