When teachers experiment, students benefit. When students gain confidence to pursue their own literary experiments, creative writing can become a life-changing experience.

With chapters written by experienced teachers and classroom innovators, Creative Writing Innovations builds on these principles to uncover the true potential of the creative writing classroom. Rooted in classroom experience, this book takes teaching beyond the traditional workshop model to explore topics such as multi-media genres, collaborative writing and field-based work, as well as issues of identity. Taken together, this is an essential guide for teachers of creative writing at all levels from the authors and editors of Creative Writing in the Digital Age.

Editorial Reviews

Review

"Essential reading for undergraduate and graduate-level creative writers who teach ... [It] advance[s] the rigor of creative writing as an academic discipline with deep ties to the sister world of composition and rhetoric while nudging teacher-writers toward innovative, process-oriented pedagogies and heuristics." - Journal of Teaching Writing

“Clark (Azusa Pacific Univ.), Hergenrader (Rochester Institute of Technology), and Rein (Univ. of Wisconsin, River Falls) have produced a compelling follow-up to their edited collection Creative Writing in the Digital Age (2015). This new offering assembles 16 essays with the shared goal of rethinking and restructuring university-level creative writing curricula. The essays are organized in four sections―’Rethinking the Workshop,’ ‘Expanding Genre,’ ‘Creative Collaborations,’ and ‘Identity and the Creative Writing Classroom’―and many of the contributors express dissatisfaction with the hallmark of creative writing instruction in the US: the creative writing workshop. For example, in his manifesto ‘The Unworkshop,’ Graeme Harper radically revises the workshop method by prioritizing intellectual curiosity and student autonomy above expectations for traditional academic coursework. By contrast, Derek Harriell proposes a sequenced graduate writing workshop that improves rather than dismantles the traditional workshop. Another remarkable essay, Ching-In Chen’s ‘Gender Identity and the Creative Writing Classroom,’ articulates an approach to creative writing pedagogy that values and affirms the work of genderqueer and nonbinary writers. Taken together, the essays in this collection expand the emergent field of creative writing studies and provide thoughtful, replicable strategies for guiding and supporting student writers. Summing Up: Highly recommended.” –CHOICE

    I am a fiction writer and Assistant Professor of English at the Rochester Institute of Technology, where I teach courses in creative writing, literature and media. My primary research area is the use of games and gaming in creative writing classes, more specifically using role-playing games to help beginning writers develop a better sense of their characters personalities, histories and motivations; I also have students use digital tools to collaboratively create immersive fictional worlds.

    I am also involved in creative writing studies, an academic field that interrogates the discipline of creative writing especially as taught at the university level, as well as digital pedagogy, or how instructors can best use digital technology in the classroom.

    When I find time for fiction writing, it's usually speculative fiction leaning toward dark fantasy and some science fiction. My work has appeared in Best Horror of the Year #1, Magazine of Fantasy & Science Fiction, Weird Tales, Realms of Fantasy, Cicada and other top publications.
