Introductions

The aim of the session is to introduce the new writing opportunities created by the World Wide Web. The emphasis will be on writing and exploration, and everything introduced will be approached in an artistic and non-technical manner. There will be a number of hands-on exercises that give a real flavour of the excitement of writing with computers. There will be plenty of opportunities for discussion.

The issues addressed will include:

• What can the Web do for me (as a writer)?
• Getting work out there through On-line Magazines
• What is a Blogger?
• Literary Hypertext
• What is so Flash about Flash Poetry?
• Can I make money with the World Wide Web?

In the course of all this, the workshop will introduce some of the extraordinary works of electronic literature available over the web and the aesthetic controversies that have grown-up around the tools, the critical terms and the future of this exciting area of writing practice.
