Writing online
Description
From blogs, to e-books, to online reviews, this program introduces viewers to what it's like to be a writer in a technological age. Brief stories of blogs such as Washingtonienne and Belle de Jour that became books (and one book, Jim Munroe's An Opening Act of Unspeakable Evil, that masqueraded as a blog) and a quick interview with a successful e-book publisher are balanced by two short panel discussions: the pros and cons of e-books, with York University's Caitlin Fisher and columnist and unapologetic Luddite Linwood Barclay, and the value of online book reviews by readers, with author Marnie Woodrow and book reviewer James Granger.
