Digital Fest challenge Dunedin
Dunedin (Friday, 19 December 2014) – The Digital Writers Festival is calling out for emerging writers to pitch their ideas for showcasing a live 20 minute streamed tour of Dunedin’s great literary city.
The Digital Writers Festival 2015 aims to equip writers with new ideas and inspiration about how to share their stories and words with audiences online. The world’s first online writers’ festival conference was held in Hobart last year and the second is to be held in Melbourne in mid February 2015.
Festival organisers are promoting this year’s event by taking its audience members on a literary tour of the globe with the help of the world’s UNESCO Cities of Literature.
The organisers are asking emerging writers in any of the Cities of Literature - Edinburgh, Melbourne, Iowa City, Dublin, Reykjavik, Norwich, Krakow, Dunedin, Heidelberg, Prague and Granada to create a 20 minute livecast stream of their favourite literary hotspots, bookstores and cafes around their city while answering questions about their own work via Twitter.
