UVM Information Technology Executive Council Proposal:

Hyperfiction is a Fact: A New Look at Writing

Object: Build upon Vermont's image as a writer's haven and enhance UVMs role as a supporter of creative and innovative writing.



The multi-layered world of electronic hyperfiction is quickly becoming the genre of choice for many creative writers. Vermont has long been a haven for writers and UVM has a long history of supporting the art and process of writing and writers. It is time to explore the emerging role of hypertext in fiction, non-fiction and writing in general.

Partners and methods:
CIT, writing faculty, Continuing Education
Bring successful hypertext, especially hyperfiction, writers to UVM either through a conference or through the existing summer writing program. Follow with the development of a specific course and integrate models of hypertext writing into existing writing courses.
