About Dr David Reiter, Director
David Reiter is an award-winning poet and writer
of fiction, scripts and multimedia. His fourth book, Hemingway
in Spain and Selected Poems, was shortlisted for the 1998 Adelaide Festival
Literature Awards. His previous books include The Cave After Saltwater
Tide (Penguin,
1994) for which he won the Queensland Premier’s Poetry Award. His book
of short fiction, Triangles, was shortlisted for the 2000 Steele Rudd Award. His most recent works are Letters

and Sharpened

murder mystery. His most recent works are the children's picture book Real Guns, the novel Liars
and Lovers the script and performance CD Paul
and Vincent, and the feature-length DVD Hemingway
in Spain. Phase
2 of My
Planets, a fictive
memoir in multimedia is currently under
development.
David has a strong background in corporate work, having served as a publishing
manager and technical and scientific editor for a number of organisations,
as well as a publishing consultant in North America and Australia. His more
recent interest in digital publishing and multimedia stems from a lifelong
preoccupation with interdisciplinary artforms. His background as a lecturer
at tertiary institutions for many years in creative and professional writing,
as well as his active pursuits of projects in emerging artforms, has led him
to be much in demand at festivals and conferences in Australia and overseas
as a reader or demonstrator of his own work, a workshop leader, and a mentor.
IP’s current blend of print and digital
projects is a realisation of David’s vision that New Publishing
enterprises need to be streetwise, efficient and responsive to changing
tastes of
the reading
[and the viewing/listening] public.
