The Melbourne Writers Festival (MWF) has announced its digital reporters for 2014.

MWF has also unveiled an ‘interactive geo-fiction app’ called Twists and Turns.

The app is designed to be used with headphones while walking through the streets of inner-city Melbourne. It contains three choose-your-own-adventure stories written by MWF writers Nic Low, Leanne Hall and Liam Pieper, and narrated by Australian actors John Wood, Noni Hazlehurst, John Flaus and Richard Piper.

The app can be downloaded from the Apple App Store from mid-August. Learn more about it on the MWF website here.
