The Creative Writing Workshop: a Survival Kit

Abstract

The Creative Writing workshop (undergraduate and graduate) exists in two senses: the Workshop, which characterizes the distinctiveness of Creative Writing as an academic discipline, and the workshop — the subject and methodology of Creative Writing pedagogy. The nouns have spawned a verb. Student writing is ‘workshopped’ in a fashion special to the teaching of Creative Writing. In Creative Writing: a Good Practice Guide, Dr Siobhan Holland commented that Creative Writing ‘is best understood as a practice-based rather than a vocational or service-based discipline’, and that ‘The Creative Writing workshop provides the most common form of delivery for Creative Writing programmes at undergraduate and MA level.’ These keywords were added by machine and not by the authors. This process is experimental and the keywords may be updated as the learning algorithm improves.
