Where to next? Identifying the needs of the web-based literature sector

(sponsored by the Arts Council of England)

An afternoon of summing up and moving forward. We start with a talk from Rachel Van Riel whose Opening the Book project promoting print-based reader development has won international acclaim.Are there lessons to be learned from her experience with print media which would be useful for writers and organisations working to develop a readership for online media? After Rachel’s talk we turn to a panel of representatives from web-based literature and arts organisations and invite a discussion of how the sector might develop over the next five years – where would we like to be, and how would we like to get there? It is likely that ‘reader’ development is going to be increasingly important in terms of building audiences and identifying the strengths of web-based literature, but this is not a single-issue debate. Topics for attention include:

  • Developing an audience/readership

  • The connections between process and quality

  • Teaching, training and skill-sharing

  • Enabling collaboration

  • Alliances between organisations with complementary interests
