About the Author
Lyle Skains
Email: r.l.skains@bangor.ac.ukI am a practice-based researcher in Creative Writing and Digital Media. I conduct practice-based research in Creative Writing and Digital Media, specifically in multimodal and multimedia storytelling, multi-authored or community-sourced storytelling, the development of storyworld as a primary narrative tool, and the role of mythology in contemporary storytelling. I am also interested in theory-based research exploring the connections between postmodern print fiction and electronic or “born-digital” literature in terms of perspective and narrative structure, as well as how authorship and readership are shifting due to the evolution of these narratives.
I incorporate practice-based research into all of my teaching, from year one undergraduates all the way to PhD supervision, and the model presented in this text is a combination of my research and teaching experience, packaged for workshops at various universities in the UK.
