Narratological interest

I conduct practice-based research in Creative Writing and Digital Media, specifically in multimodal and multimedia storytelling, digital publishing, multi-authored or community-sourced storytelling, the development of storyworld as a primary narrative tool, and the role of mythology in contemporary storytelling. I am also interested in theory-based research exploring the connections between postmodern print fiction and electronic or “born-digital” literature in terms of perspective and narrative structure, how authorship and readership are shifting due to the evolution of these narratives, and in academic and commercial digital publishing strategies.
