More Montreal resources

Alice will be able to add to this, but I wanted to also mention an online magazine:

www.carte-blanche.org

And two audiobook initiatives that come out of Montreal:

Librivox - www.librivox.org which is a volunteer-run audiobook organisation that publishes audiobooks that are in the public domain (so either out of copyright, or self-published)

and Iambic www.iambik.com which is a commercial audiobook start up that has grown up out of Librivox and is going to be launching a very interesting subscription model in the near future.

Hugh McGuire, who is behind both of these initiatives, is also about to launch a new start-up PressBooks while will be an easy-to-use platform to create your own ebooks.  Look at Hugh's own webpage for more news of that www.hughmcguire.net

  1. Hi Kate et al.

    Here are the links to the story I think of as partway there, in terms of mixing media. I can already imagine the dialogue being acted out. I'm giving 2 links because the original (at Joyland.ca) got the last footnote wrong--no space before the period at the end of the sentence (so you don't get to see the image I was linking to).
