NAWE's Writing in Practice aims to explore the nature of the art of writing, highlighting current academic thinking and practice, and reflecting on this with an international outlook. A focus of this special issue is multimodal writing, with guest co-editor Josie Barnard.
Whether directly or indirectly, the digital ‘revolution’ has affected every aspect of the writing and publishing process. Writing – often thought of as primarily text-based – now routinely involves multiple ‘modes’, with photographs, emoji and audio, for example, featuring as integral parts of online narratives.
The explosion of new media technologies may lead a creative writer to experiment with new technologies (perhaps writing Twine poetry or moving into self-publishing). Conversely, it might inspire a revived enthusiasm for using ‘old’ technologies such as pens, pencils, paper. This cfp welcomes submissions in both areas.
