proposal description
For this Vectors–NEH institute, I plan to complete a full, first draft of the afterword to a digital, multimodal edited collection (of which I am co-editor) under consideration with Computers and Composition Digital Press (ccdigitalpress.org). The afterword of this e-book, The New Work of Composing, addresses how (and, to some extent, whether) composing and editing processes change when the intellectual work of the “book” is performed in a media-rich environment. I will examine (a) my own processes of composing the afterword, and (b) the composing (and revision) processes of a number of the book’s authors who are also producing born-digital work.
