Dear everyone
First of all, apologies if you’ve had this information by email, carrier pigeon, or telepathic waveform. I have several lists of people, and there’s some cross-over..
We thought it was about time to have a proper, public conversation about digital technology, publishing, immersive media, literature, and the complicated space between them all. Accepting that a lot of you aren’t in the UK, I’ll acknowledge that this is a live event, and that might make it difficult for you to attend, but as you’ve supported us in the past, I’m including you as ‘friends of the project’.
Details are below. Places will be limited (especially for day 2). Pricing will be affordable, and you’ll get to take something away too.
Best, and stay well
Tom

How can authors find new ways of telling stories and reaching audiences?
How can publishers move past dominant digital platforms, and reading experiences that are replicas of print?
How can creative practitioners bring together the best of books, games and immersive experiences?
The Ambient Literature team have been at the forefront of innovation in digital storytelling since 2011, producing a remarkable series of immersive, narrative literary encounters. In publishing circles, we possess an unrivalled reputation for the originality, subtlety and sophistication of our work. We’ve worked with authors like Neil Gaiman and Nick Harkaway, and publishers including Hachette, Penguin Random House and Canelo.
We think it’s time to talk about the whole field of creative technology and publishing, and to do so provocatively, persuasively and with genuine passion.
On 23-24 May, we’re putting together an event at Arnolfini in Bristol. Day 1 will be a showcase, with examples of Ambient Literature for you to experience, panel discussions and speakers from across the creative industries. Day 2 is an optional, hands-on workshop for authors, artists, game designers and other creatives looking to embed Ambient Literature in their own practice.
Places will be limited. Register here for more information and to be the first to hear about tickets.
