Dear all
There has been a lot of chat on this list recently about creative
writing programs so some of you may be interested in my new book,
The Writing Experiment: strategies for innovative creative writing
which has just been published by Allen and Unwin. It is being
launched in Australia now and is obtainable from bookshops. It will
reach bookshops in the UK mid year and in the US in about October but
can be ordered at any time from the Allen and Unwin website.
The book is specifically designed for tertiary level students
studying creative writing, though it can be used by the more general
reader. It takes an experimental approach, stresses incremental,
systematic strategies and uses literary and cultural theory to
illuminate the process of writing. It includes many different types
of writing, including fiction, poetry, mixed genre writing, writing
for performance and writing for new media. Each chapter is
illustrated with extensive student and published examples.
More information about the book is available at

from where the book can also be ordered.
Best wishes
Hazel
