Carolyn Handler Miller is one of the pioneering writers in the field of digital storytelling, where she has contributed to over fifty projects as a writer, narrative designer, and consultant. Her works in emergent media include not only immersive environments, but also video games, interactive stories for the Web, intelligent toy systems and transmedia entertainment.

“I genuinely appreciated how the book approaches the rapidly evolving landscape of immersive media, and the VR chapter stood out as a highlight in both scope and clarity. It was clear, detailed, and moving -- especially in its recognition that VR is a storytelling medium with the potential for profound human impact.” – Roger Holzberg, Co-Founder & Creative Director, Remagine Well and former VP/Creative Director, Walt Disney Imagineering
“Carolyn Handler Miller has continued to provide an invaluable guide to the complex world of where digital technology meets storytelling.” – Kate Pullinger, Professor of Creative Writing and Digital Media at Bath Spa University
