Product Info Reviews

Description:

It is common knowledge among writers that the new media have opened up all kinds of writing opportunities, many (but not all) of them considerably more lucrative than their print alternatives. Writing for New Media is a basic guide for writers with little knowledge in this field who would like to jump on the bandwidth bandwagon. By book's end, readers will be conversant in applets and assets, drilling down and hot spots. They will have a handy working knowledge of hardware and software. And they will have been reminded so many times of the basics of writing for interactive media--what is depressingly defined here as "designing the perfect data chunk"--that they will never forget. "Keep it short, keep it self-contained, think multimedia, use creative interactivity, think sidebars, [and] integrate footnotes, bibliographies, and supporting material." --Jane Steinberg
