Content has never been so immediately available as it is today, and the competition for eyeballs and clicks is fierce. When mere words have to compete with tag-lines, sound-bites, memes, and tik-tok videos, they have to be good to sustain interest. This talk will take audiences through the simple pleasure of reading fiction as an antidote to digital distraction, and how reading provides the additional benefit of increasing our attention span.
There will be a live Q&A with the speaker as part of this session.
