Eastgate Systems is a publisher and software company headquartered in Watertown, Massachusetts, which publishes hypertext.[1]

Eastgate is a pioneer in hypertext publishing and electronic literature[2][3][4][5] and one of the best known publishers of hypertext fiction.[6] It publishes fiction, non-fiction, and poetry hypertexts by established authors with careers in print, as well as new authors. Its software tools include Storyspace, a hypertext system created by Jay David Bolter, Michael Joyce, and John B. Smith[7] in which much early hypertext fiction was written,[8] and Tinderbox,[9] a tool for managing notes and information. Storyspace was used in a project in Michigan to put judicial 'bench books' into electronic form.[10] Eastgate's chief scientist, Mark Bernstein, is a well-known figure in hypertext research,[11] and has improved and extended Storyspace as well as developing new hypertext software.
