When you compose in or into hypertext, the
space literally opens up. You live and read differently in the
space between print and online.

This short guide aims to provide a brief and jargon-free introduction
to New Media Writing. It considers:
- What is new media writing?
- Reading print
- Reading new media writing
- Origins
- What to install
- Reading list
For those who wish to make the work themselves we also recommend
our Online Toolkit, a comprehensive resource of tools, advice and
support for the new media writer.
