About the company
EDGE DPUB is a digital-only publishing company based in London. The company strives to be at the cutting edge of technology and endorse the creation of new works by implementing an Open Source Archive. The publishing company is a side project of my PhD study. The sample works featured on the "Sample works" page, are the result of my practice-based research. During my studies, I also wrote some articles that I published on the "Articles" page.
EDGE DPUB is also a platform for authors and designers who want to publish their work or learn about digital publishing. Collaboration proposals can be sent to: info@edgedpub.com
The company’s logo depicts an open book symbolized by two brackets which refer to the practice of coding used in the creation of enhanced e-books and the audiovisual effects that appear on the User Interface.
About me
My name is Daniele Giampà, I am a self-taught digital publisher having acquired the skills of editing and publishing through online courses and webinars. In 2013, I graduated from the University of Zürich with a master's thesis about electronic literature and have collaborated on various projects from 2009-2016. In 2016, I took my first course in the creation of enhanced e-books and decided during those two days, that I would become a digital publisher. In 2018, I moved to London to undertake a PhD study on the aesthetics of enhanced e-books and in 2020, I founded EDGE DPUB LTD.
Almost everything in and about my life revolves around languages. I was born and raised in the City of Zürich (CH) where I attended Swiss obligatory schools. Italian and German are my mother tongues and I started learning French and English at the ages of 10 and 13. Later, I kept on studying languages at the Foreign Languages High School and at university where I applied this knowledge to the study of literature and linguistics.
I have always had a multidisciplinary approach to science, and languages have helped me discover and appreciate foreign cultures. I also understand electronic literature as a means to study other disciplines related to literature and informatics, such as digital art, electronic music and digital publishing.
My work as a digital publisher aims to apply the theories developed in the field of electronic literature in the publishing industry through digital devices based on web technology. On my blog Electronic Literature Review I have published numerous interviews with scholars and authors of electronic literature.
