My Story With Digital Literary publishing: An Interactive Biographical Panorama

By Abdul Rahman Al-Mohseni

As I see digital literary publishing now settling in the critical scene and one's life, I try in this book to record my story with digital literary publishing that started more than three decades ago. I am documenting this extended story to reveal hidden aspects related to the conflict of digital literary publishing. Because the story or this biographical panorama has a lot of details that some may catch the interest of the reader, and so that the book does not get bigger and because it addresses technology and its time, I preferred to present the general idea and leave its details to a technical web link that conveys those interested to the detailed area that nurtures the general idea, and opens the target horizon to the recipient to expand the follow-up of the idea automatically. With this web link, the reader will have access to extensive details and thousands of literature pages that cannot accommodate space and its technical proximity. I emphasize the comprehensiveness of the term (digital), as it is considered a broad terminology tree branching out under it everything related to contemporary literary and scientific digital publishing, which represents the most important features of this digital era. I would also like to emphasize that some of the entries of this story and its hasty signs represent independent research entries that the researcher works on in a continuous digital critique. He hopes from God to provide him with his help. He needs to produce them in succession.I had come out of the amazement of using the computer to face the act of digitization, as I had recently completed writing my Ph.D. thesis on my computer, and I had not handed it over to another printer except for its final formatting to complete the thesis conditions. I was very impressed with this new electronic atmosphere at the time, and I was keen on it following its news. At the same time, I was busy from another side tracking the development of the contemporary Arabic poetry movement, which I began to feel its characteristics since my master's dissertation on Al-Diwan and Al-Hijaz poets in 1999, and the subsequent writing on the modernity of the Saudi poem in my Ph.D. thesis in 2006.The atmosphere of the text and its variables dominated me on the one hand, and I was also noticing those variables extending to the means of new technology, on the other hand. Perhaps that was a foundation of something related to this project (technical/textual) later.Of course, I began my digital project by seeking an approach between the text and technology before this term has become significant to me, which I do not think has yet settled permanently. Still, I noticed with the sense of an interested critic that the literary text began to intersect with technology and that poets and writers began to come out of amazement of this technology to try and make it relatable to the text.
