As a graphic design student studying in England I am undertaking a
final major project, which aims to encourage more of the general public
to read literature. My focus is on the notion of involuntary reading:
placing literature in locations where people wait or pass through. I am
employing many of the techniques used by advertisers to engage my
audience.

In order to create the most effective outcomes I am keen to get in
touch with other organizations/companies etc who have/are working in
similar ways, such as 'poems on the underground' in London. Do you
know of any organizations that I could contact, or be able to direct me
to anybody who can help me with this query?

I am also interested in working with literary writers who are keen on
promoting their work in new ways: my designs explore the notion of
turning surfaces of the environment into pages of the books. Therefore
do you know of any writers (preferably new authors of short stories)
who would be interested in getting involved in this project? Or are you
a writer yourself?!

I would be grateful for any information or advice that you could give
me that will aid my outcome.

My contact email address is: Acr...@boltblue.com, alternatively just
leave any suggestions on this forum?
