Researchers and practitioners working with hypertext or narrative will be invited to attend this workshop. Participants will be asked to submit a short (between 3 and 7 pages CEUR format) position paper on their current work. Authors of papers selected for presentation will be informed 3 weeks after the submission deadline. All the position papers of participants will be made available on the workshop website initially and later (if possible) through the ACM Hypertext adjunct CEUR proceedings.

The planned event is a half day Hybrid workshop with sessions based around short presentations of the paper submissions from attendees, with emphasis on Q&A and discussion.
