Literary Science reads novels the way it reads communities—by identifying what circulates, what is blocked, and what is carried forward. These are the categories of capital the methodology tracks.
A single-page overview of Asset Mapping, Flow Analysis, Strategic Response, and Creative Restoration. Designed to be printed, pinned to a wall, and used as a reference during class. Includes the guiding question for each movement and a brief description of what happens in the novel vs. the community.
The three-section template used to develop hypotheses: The Problem (what and why), The Evidence (the numbers), The Hypothesis & Proposed Intervention (the claim and the action). Blank, with guiding prompts for each section. Adaptable to any grade level or context.
A practical guide for teachers who want to use literature as operational technology in their classrooms. What Literary Science is, how the four movements work, and a step-by-step walkthrough you can use this week. No certification required.
An annotated reading list organized by the systems each novel renders visible. Each entry includes the system it illuminates, suggested data overlays for community investigation, and notes on which of the four movements it best supports. A starting library for any Literary Science practitioner.
A two-page framework that remixes Porter's Productivity Frontier, replacing the focus on cost and efficiency with well-being. Maps how communities use their flow of assets through three strategies — Survival, Reform, and Agitation — and includes a full case study analyzing Edward P. Jones's "The First Day" through the Frontier lens.
These tools are free and always will be. If you want to go deeper—workshops, certification, or institutional design consulting—reach out.
