If you have little or no experience with digital fiction and would like to learn more about this exciting new way of reading, come to our introductory workshop with Dr. Jen Smith. We’ll read a few stories together, and then we’ll have a chat about what makes them different from traditional printed books. This event is free and open to the public.
The “Reading Digital Fiction” project at Sheffield Hallam University
The Reading Digital FictionĀ project has two core aims. Primarily, as keen readers of digital fiction, we want toĀ introduce more readers toĀ digital fiction. To achieve that aim, we are organising variousĀ public eventsĀ including workshops, exhibitions, and writing competitions to introduce people to this exciting new form of literature. Secondly, as cognitive stylisticians, we are interested inĀ how readers process particular linguistic and multimodal features within digital fiction.Ā We are therefore running severalĀ reader-response studies,Ā collecting data from readers in order toĀ understand how digital literary reading works cognitively.
