Andrea Phillips: "Let’s forget all about buzz, all about definitions, and all about what’s been done, and finally turn our attention to the juicy affair of why and how to use transmedia tools to tell your story.

Chuck Wendig: "I met Andrea Phillips one night at one of our local “Cult of Transmedia” meetings, which takes place across a blog, a smartphone, a movie screen, a walking tour of NYC, and a Denny’s diner menu downloaded into the brain of Abraham Lincoln. She is, quite plainly, a transmedia proselyte and guru all at the same time, and you must heed her words as a storyteller unless I break all the bones in your feet."

5 Lessons For Storytellers From The Transmedia World

5 Lessons For Storytellers From The Transmedia World | Transmedia: Storytelling for the Digital Age | Scoop.it

Andrea Phillips: "Transmedia storytelling is the art of breaking up one story or experience over multiple media, so that each medium is making a special and unique contribution to the whole. But the lessons I’ve learned over the past decade of creating and participating in transmedia projects are surprisingly applicable to anyone who has an audience — and on the web, that means everyone."

Confessions of an Aca/Fan: Archives: How to Ride a Lion: A Call for a Higher Transmedia Criticism (Part Three)

Confessions of an Aca/Fan: Archives: How to Ride a Lion: A Call for a Higher Transmedia Criticism (Part Three) | Transmedia: Storytelling for the Digital Age | Scoop.it

DRC:  If you've been following this series of articles on Henry Jenkins' blog, then you might also want to read Andrea Phillips' thoughts on the subject over at Deus Ex Machinatio.


Andrea Phillips: "I've been mulling over Geoffrey Long's series about transmedia criticism, How to Ride a Lion. I feel like it deserves some thoughtful response, but it's been hard for me to formulate anything that isn't self-aggrandizing (Geoffrey is very flattering toward me indeed) or a sort of nodding-my-head-along that is so empty of content I might as well not say anything at all."

Making Isn't Enough

Making Isn't Enough | Transmedia: Storytelling for the Digital Age | Scoop.it

You've probably heard a common refrain in the transmedia scene: "Just make something." It's the wisdom of centuries of artists before us -- you can talk forever, but you never become a creator if you don't actually apply all that theory. Writers write.
