SUMMARY:Booklife: The Private and the Public in Transmedia Storytelling and Self-Promotion
DESCRIPTION:Jeff Vandermeer with Kevin Smokler. \nFictional experiments in emerging media like Twitter and Facebook are influencing traditional printed novels and stories in interesting ways\, but another intriguing new narrative is also emerging: the rise of “artifacts” that\, although they support a writer’s career\, have their own intrinsic creative value. What are the benefits and dangers of a confusion between the private creativity and the public career elements of a writer’s life caused by new media and a proliferation of “open channels”? What protective measures must a writer take to preserve his or her “self” in this environment? In addition to the guerilla tactics implicit in storytelling through social media and other unconventional platforms\, in what ways is a writer’s life now itself a story irrespective of intentional fictive storytelling? Examining these issues leads naturally to a discussion on the tension and cross-pollination between the private and public lives of writers in our transmedia age\, including the strategies and tactics that best serve those who want to survive and flourish in this new environment. What are we losing in the emerging new paradigm\, and what do we stand to gain?
