As many of you are aware, for the past few years I’ve been concentrating on two things: finishing my PhD (which I submitted in 2009), and working on great projects conceived by other people. I’ve conceived, designed and executed some small alternate reality games, but all the major projects were work for other people. This I still love and will continue to do, but now I’ll also be going back to doing my own projects as well. In the past I’ve conceived and created theatre shows, short stories, a literature installation and websites. But now I’m happy to announce something different…

It is with great pleasure that I announce my first “playful story” from my company Universe Creation 101. It is called “Authentic in All Caps”. It is a story that explores the importance of being yourself, through an endearing and entertaining comedy-drama. It also is an innovative technological experience that combines the best of radio drama with dispersed online entertainment. Check out the main website to view the teaser video we’ve created, sign up for updates, give feedback in our social media channels, and even pre-order to help progress the production! Enjoy! :)

It now also has one in Queensland, Australia! “if:book Australia promotes new forms of digital literature and explores ways to boost connections between writers and audiences, and is a small think-tank and part of the Queensland Writers Centre”. Recently, I was commissioned to write an essay on transmedia writing. It is the first essay in a series that will run until November this year, and will culminate in an ebook (various formats) freely distributed under Creative Commons licensing. My essay titled “Do You Have a Big Stick?“, an overview of transmedia writing, is now online! :)
