Book 2.0

Book 2.0 is a twice yearly, interdisciplinary peer-reviewed journal which publishes articles and reviews by leading practitioners, scholars and theorists on topics concerning historical, modern and contemporary practices in the language arts, which includes writing, performance, book creation, illustration and publication. It also provides a forum for discussing, sharing and promoting the most innovative and imaginative practices in the teaching of creative writing, illustration and book design; collaborations between practitioners; and the increasing possibilities offered by digital technology and new forms of broadcasting for combining various forms of written and spoken language with music, moving and still images, and live and recorded performances. Since its founding in 2010, Book 2.0 has explored topics that have included children's literature and culture, traditional and modern storytelling, oral literature, poetry publishing and the enormous efforts being made by Indigenous speakers and their supporters to secure and sustain endangered languages. Future plans include issues that will review contemporary digital publishing, contemporary song and music theatre, and examine the influence of ecocriticism at a time of unprecedented climate change.
