A photonovella tells a fictional story through the devices of

text-based stories, the mechanisms of comic books and the

conventions of motion pictures. It has its own story-telling

"grammar." Unlike books, comics and motion pictures, however,

Internet or CD-ROM-based photonovellas have no practical limit

in terms of their length. Naturally, however, they require the

same level of story-telling discipline and expertise that the

traditional media do. To be successful and popular, photonovellas

must entertain, move, amuse and provoke readers, just as good,

traditional-media storytelling does.

For further information and discussion of the merits and potential

of photonovellas as a story-telling medium, please contact
