Hi Greg, I'll add to the growing list of interesting references. Daniel Chandler has a nice piece on the phenemonlology of writing by hand from 1992. Not a particularly systematic treatment of the question you're asking, but he quotes many writers who talk about what handwriting means to them and how they feel about typing or word processing. http://www.aber.ac.uk/media/Documents/short/phenom.html Cheers, Annette ***************************************************** Annette N.

Hello, all, A friend of mine who is a writer of fiction is wondering about the effects on one's prose of writing on an iPad v. desktop/laptop, and was looking for either studies that have been done, or anecdotal accounts from (literary) writers. So far most of the anecdotal stuff out there is about which apps to use, and few are reflecting on if there are changes to one's writing. And it's probably too soon for any systematic research to have been done. But I thought I'd check.
Cheers,
Greg
