Hi Francis,
Your project sounds very interesting. I do many different types of writing, mainly fiction and poetry but also magazine writing for art journals - most recently an article about a mobility project for Fuse Magazine. I'm currently attending Emily Carr Institute of Art and Design and Media and am working on an independent project of my own - an interactive novel with characters that viewers/readers help develop.

My focus and interest is in experimental forms both in the actual structure of text as well as different forms of presenting text.

I've been published in a variety of literary journals and magazines.

Please send me more info about your project.

Looking forward to talking with you,
Penny Leong Browne
