AustLiterature.Net

AustLiterature.net (ALN) is an experiment in leveraging social media within an educational and disciplinary context, currently in its beta stage of development. As a not-for-profit space to collate news and views exploring themes, concepts, political and theoretical approaches underpinning the contemporary study and reading of Australian literature, AustLiterature.net (ALN) is an online literary networking community for lovers of Australian Literature. Primarily (and in no particularly order), it exists for researchers, writers, publishers, readers, reviewers, scholars, booksellers and students of Australian Literature. Not affiliated with any key disciplinary stakeholders, institutions or retailers, ALN is an attempt to drive awareness of Australian Literature from the ground up, by creating networking opportunities between people interested in various aspects of Australian publishing, writing and reading, and by growing a community around the Twitter identity. Be sure to read all our "Background" pages (links in middle column of this page) for more information or if you have any questions, please drop a note to the Twitter account @AustLiterature.
