MIX 2023 <https://mixconference.org/>, our biennial conference on where 
and how creative writing and emerging technologies meet, will be 
co-hosted by Bath Spa University and the British Library. It will 
coincide with the British Library’s Digital Storytelling 
<https://www.bl.uk/press-releases/2022/october/year-ahead>exhibition of 
digital literature and emerging formats, which will highlight digital 
publishing over recent years. MIX 2023 will enable scholars and 
practitioners to come together to explore the exhibition at the British 
Library as well as share current research and practice in the rapidly 
developing field of storytelling in immersive environments.

We are looking for proposals for 15 min papers or presentations and 6
