AustLit

This topic is designed around a series of two-hour workshops in which students will read and respond to their peers' creative writing. In the weekly workshops, students are expected to respond to other students' work both in writing and through discussion, making editorial suggestions. The emphasis in this topic is on writing and responding to draft creative writing and for thinking about the practice of creative writing as a craft.

There will also be opportunities for students to develop their editing and desktop publishing skills, and listen to published writers talking about the crafting of writing and about related matters to do with the publishing industry.
