Creative Writing Advanced Practice 2 (KWB332)
Semester 1 / 2016

Description

This unit is the second in a series of three advanced practice units in creative writing. These units allow students to significantly advance their writing practice and associated critical and editorial skills. In creative writing advanced practice 2 students will work on an already-conceived, sustained work of fiction in the genre/s of their choice including poetry, short fiction, long-form fiction (eg: elements of a novel length work) and non-fiction with a specific emphasis on developing, structuring and modulating sustained pieces. With the ability to articulate into and out of the other advanced practice units, this unit gives students a unique opportunity to work on a sustained piece of fiction for up to a year and a half. Intensive studio-based work, professionally-conducted mentorship opportunities, self-directed creative practice and critical peer evaluation characterise the teaching and learning in this unit.
