Resources

Easy-to-Use Platforms for creating simple digital stories:

Powerpoint: If you already use Powerpoint for work and presentations, you might be surprised to learn that you can use it creatively as well to blend text, image, and music to tell stories.

Microsoft PhotoStory 3: This is a free tool that you can download to your computer in order to create digital stories that can then be uploaded and shared online.

Googlemaps: Googlemaps can be used very creatively, to add postcard stories (photo + text) to a series of locations on a single map

flickr: If you upload photos to flickr you can create captions for them, and link a series of stories together to tell a photostory.

Social Media sites for Writers:

Facebook: facebook can be a useful tool for connecting with readers, and for creating discussion around your work

Twitter: Twitter provides a simple way to connect with readers, fellow writers, publishers, and journalists

Blogging: Have your own blog can be a great way to build an audience

Examples of Digital Fiction:

A great source for examples of Digital Fiction is the Electronic Literature Collection, Volumes 1 and2.
