MOTION PICTURES

I've talked a lot about my hope that enhanced e-books might prove to be the savior of both the serial genre, and storytelling in general. A combination of words and images is cheaper to produce than 300+ hours of straight television a week, and is presumably more attractive to young people growing up surrounded by 24/7 media. Plus, there is a concrete revenue model.

In February 2012, I gave a talk at the New York chapter of the Writer's Union on the subject, outlining both my vision for storytelling in the 21st century, as well as concrete advice for authors who'd like to turn their previously published backlist into enhanced e-books.
