About the Book

This free and open access textbook introduces new writers to some basic elements of the craft of creative writing in the genres of fiction, poetry, and creative nonfiction. The authors—Rachel Morgan, Jeremy Schraffenberger, and Grant Tracey—are editors of the North American Review, the oldest and one of the most well-regarded literary magazines in the United States. They’ve selected nearly all of the readings and examples (more than 60) from writing that has appeared in NAR pages over the years. Because they had a hand in publishing these pieces originally, their perspective as editors permeates this book. As such, they hope that even seasoned writers might gain insight into the aesthetics of the magazine as they analyze and discuss some reasons this work is so remarkable—and therefore teachable. This project was supported by NAR staff and funded via the UNI Textbook Equity Mini-Grant Program.

Contribute to this Page

As it was in the last edition, we have set first page as "A" and started "Title page" from "i".

Why is there a space here?

indent title on the second line so it's clear...

This should also be added under Nonfiction as well, the Hixson piece.

insert Hixson

change to "themes of the fourth edition" to avoid repeating "new" twice

The Fiction section is not appearing here... I'm not sure where it went.

I don't think we want his name here!!

AU: \(Global\) Please check if all such headings should \ be set in title case as given in the chapters.

Hyphen added here.

changed to lowercase

hyphen added here

semi colon added here

AU: Perhaps "creative"?

colon added here

AU: Please check if "The" sho\ uld be deleted as it is not a part of the name of university.

35 spelled out here

We have set first page as "A" and started "Title page" from "i". Accordingly page reference for Preface and About the Author is listed here.

AU: This style of this component of cha\ pters is given inconsistently in the contents. Please confirm one style that can be followed consistently throughout.

Content in Chapter 12 were removed at the later phase of the project, accordingly the TOC entries are removed here.

This special issue of TEXT responds to the current challenge faced by writers in the academy to identify with greater precision what it is about their work which is genuinely an original contribution to knowledge across the field of creative writing (or, more rarely, in another field). It follows from the acclaim with which the first three Creative Writing as Research special issues, published in TEXT in 2010, 2012 and 2014, have been met. In those landmark collections, creative writing pieces from writers based in universities around Australia and New Zealand were published under refereed circumstances with statements regarding their status as research attached. Not only – as reader feedback told us – did TEXT’s readership enjoy consuming a range of creative work from creative writing academic researchers, they also found the research statements useful as models for their own practice and others in their universities.
