"In Critical Approaches to Creative Writing, Graeme Harper examines the practice of creative writing and shows how it is possible to explore the practice critically as a creative writer, in order to improve your own creative writing as well as contribute to our wider understanding of creative writing. Looking at the influences on creative writing, the types of practices involved and the evidence that creative writing produces, the book covers both what creative writing is and how creative writing can be better understood. Developing the practice of 'creative exposition', where creative writing is closely and directly examined in practice as well as through its results, Critical Approaches to Creative Writing offers a lively map for exploring the creative writing you undertake and for learning how you undertake it. This book aims to empower you to develop your own creative exposition so that you can consider any creative writing situations you face, develop knowledge that can overcome compositional problems, provide you with more creative choices, and assist you to build your creative writing strengths"-- Provided by publisher.
