Outline of Annual Research Achievements |
Contract obtained for the proposed manuscript: Digital Literary Creative Practice: Six Memos for Writers in the Current Millennium, to be published in 2024. A research trip was conducted in March 2023, which included visits to the New York Public Library, the Houghton Library (Harvard University), the Harry Ransom Center (University of Texas), and the Electronic Literature Lab (Washington State University). Through TEXT, a special issue ‘Digital Realism’ was published. Practice-led research has been published in Taper. Academic papers and practice-led research were presented at AAWP: Fire Country at the University of the Sunshine Coast in Australia, iDMAa 2022: Weird Media at Winona State University in the United States, and ELO 2022 at Collegio Gallio in Italy.

Current Status of Research Progress |
Current Status of Research Progress
2: Research has progressed on the whole more than it was originally planned.
Reason
The realisation of my monograph now requires simply the completion of writing the proposed manuscript. A contract was signed last year. The book will be published in 2024, assuming all goes according to plan. My research trip to the United States, conducted in March, 2023, has provided me with the necessary information to finish the work. Research conducted at the New York Public Library, the Houghton Library at Harvard University, the Harry Ransom Center at the University of Texas, and the Electronic Literature Lab at Washington State University will enable me to complete the research project without delay, despite previous interruptions caused by the COVID-19 pandemic. Additional practice-led research and papers are currently under consideration for publication, and proposed presentations have been accepted by the ELO conference to be held in Coimbra, Portugal in 2023.

Strategy for Future Research Activity |
In the following year I intend to complete the draft of the manuscript, Digital Literary Creative Practice: Six Memos for Writers in the Current Millennium. Ideally I will submit this to my publisher ahead of schedule. I have had two presentations accepted for the ELO 2023 conference to be held in Coimbra, Portugal. The practice-led research Tardy Student Punishment Simulator will be published by Taper. I have one paper accepted for publication with RCL. I have also submitted another expression of interest to publish a paper with TEXT journal. I intend to submit further research at the AAWP conference to be held in Canberra in November, 2023.

Causes of Carryover |
My research trip to the United States was in March, not August, which accounts for the difference.
