Rethinking Creative Writing in Higher Education: Programs and Practices That Work
"This is a brave, serious, passionate and entertaining book" – Dr Steve May, Head of Department, Creative Writing, Bath Spa University.
“Thoroughly researched, beautifully written, and [an] altogether important book” – Erika Dreifus in Practising Writing.
In this passionate, iconoclastic, survey of Creative Writing as an academic discipline, Stephanie Vanderslice provides a provocative critique of existing practice. She challenges enduring myths surrounding creative writing – not least, that writers learn most from workshops. Through case studies of best practice from America and elsewhere, Vanderslice provides a vision of change, showing how undergraduate and postgraduate programs can be reformed to re-engage with contemporary culture.
