TinFish Press
A small (but fierce) press based in Kaneohe and tirelessly tended by my colleague Susan Schultz, TinFish puts out experimental writing in book, chapbook, journal, and online formats. The press pairs up poets and designers to create publications that are as good looking as they are good.
Electronic Literature
Organization
For more than a decade ELO has been nurturing, promoting, and archiving literary artworks in digital formats. We have ELO to thank for the The Electronic Literature Collection, first-ever anthology of electronic literature, and for the indispensable Electronic Literature Directory. The second volume of the Electronic Literature Collection has just been published.
Electronic Book Review
Some of the best criticism of electronic literature appears in EBR, which augments contributions with an especially fine incarnation of intelligent design.
Pacific New Media
UHM Outreach College's Pacific New Media program offers a Web Design Certificate. The classes in the certificate curriculum aim to build students' skills in the most current applications and techniques in web-based communications.
