There are many different ways in which you can be involved with Writers for the Future. This area of the website tells you how.

Join us at the trAce Forums, with lively discussion on the Writers for the Future project and various other topics relating to new media writing.

Current debates include:

Blog Fiction - is the latest Web fad a suitable tool for story-telling?

Haiku on the Web - discover why this ancient form is so popular online

Who wants to read poetry about Excel spreadsheets - or even write poetry in an Excel spreadsheet?

Stop the music! An argument ensues about whether posting soundscapes should be allowed on a forum dedicated to writing & literature.

Watch others go wild & experiment with combinations of fonts, found text and links

ALSO: check out the View section on this site and Tim Wright's InResidence Weblog for work in progress and more commentary on forum debates


Also coming in the New Year: new collaborative projects, workshops and tutorials created and managed by Tim Wright.

In the meantime, if you'd like to know more about new media writing, we recommend the main trAce website itself and also Opening the Space, a downloadable guide.
