This book focuses on aspects of the creative writing process by illuminating the practices of writers who demonstrate solutions to problems across different forms and genres. Creative Writing Practice has a particular focus on the specific and practical challenges that writers must confront and solve in order to write, drawing on the personal and professional experiences of its contributors, who are all practicing writers and writer-educators. It includes 16 chapters on a variety of topics, from the ethics of poetry writing and the challenges of film adaptation, to constraint in creativity, failure, and writing as resilience and resistance. Scholarly in approach, but also based on personal example and reflection upon problem-solving, this book engages student and other emerging writers keen to learn by example, whether they are adapting a story to film, composing long form fiction, designing as well as writing a book, or converting journal-keeping into narrative.
