The creative writing workshop: beloved by some, dreaded by others, and ubiquitous in writing programs across the nation. For decades, the workshop has been entrenched as the primary pedagogy of creative writing. In Creative Writing Pedagogies for the Twenty-First Century, editors Alexandria Peary and Tom C. Hunley gather together contributing experts from both creative writing and composition studies—a discipline rich with a wide range of established pedagogies— to offer innovative alternatives to the traditional creative writing workshop.
Contributors in this volume present fresh and inventive methods for the teaching of creative writing. Each chapter offers both a theoretical and a historical background for its respective pedagogical ideas, as well as practical applications for use in the classroom. This myriad of methods can be used either to supplement the customary workshop model or as stand-alone roadmaps to engage and reinvigorate the creative process for both students and teachers alike.
