Waterstones Book Haul!

An Evening With Rachel Caine – 4th March 2016
Last week I managed to get a free ticket for Rachel Caine’s book signing in Liverpool Waterstones. Rachel Caine is one of my favourite authors. She has written around fifty books, fifteen of which make up the ‘Morganville Vampires’Ā series (I own all fifteen and so far I’ve read 9 of them), and her newest release is ‘Midnight Bites‘: an anthology of Morganville short stories which are either exclusive to this book, or have been published online in the past.
Harry Potter & The Cursed Child Script Release & The Wizarding World as Transmedia Storytelling
Since starting university in 2013, a big interest of mine has beenĀ audience engagement with media, and ‘transmedia narratives’. According to media and fan culture guru Henry Jenkins (2007):
“Transmedia storytelling represents a process where integral elements of a fiction get dispersed systematically across multiple delivery channels for the purpose of creating a unified and coordinated entertainment experience. Ideally, each medium makes it own unique contribution to the unfolding of the story.”
In simpler terms, transmedia storytelling is the technique of telling a single story or story experience across multiple platforms and formats. A perfect example of this is the Harry Potter franchise. This post is inspired by the recent announcement that the full script for the upcoming West End show,Ā Harry Potter and the Cursed Child,Ā will be released as a book.
