Not long ago I mentioned that Penguin Publishing is one of the most innovative users of new media to get people to read. Here's their latest cool idea:
They are launching an Alternative Reality Game called "We Tell Stories." Six Penguin authors , including Nicci French, Kevin Brooks, and Mohsin Hamid, will create six stories for online reading over a period of six weeks. Within these there will be clues that lead readers to a seventh story hidden somewhere on the internet.
You can find out more and read the stories here, at www.wetellstories.co.uk/ The first story, "The 21 Steps," is live now, the next one arrives on March 25.
