Last year I was lucky enough to work on an amazing digital writing project for Penguin called We Tell Stories. I’ve just heard that last night at the prestigious SXSW Web Awards, We Tell Stories picked up the award for ‘experimentation’ (’cutting-edge and trend-setting destinations that are pushing the envelope and challenging our perceptions of the web’) and, astonishingly, the Best of Show award (’The judges’ favorite finalist website from the competition’) beating competition from Flickr and Hulu amongst others. Woah. Really proud to have been a part of this, and really glad Penguin (and in particular Jeremy Ettinghausen, the brains behind the project) is bravely pushing digital storytelling in new directions. The story I put together (an infographic novel based on Hard Times by Charles Dickens - toughest brief of my life) with ace designer Nicholas Felton is here.
