Harper (creative writing, Bangor University) and Kroll (English, Flinders University, Australia) bring together creative writing instructors working in the UK, the US, and Australia to concentrate on the major issues facing this popular and sometimes embattled area of study. Contributors address issues related to practice-led research in creative writing, the nature of higher degrees, the place of critical/theoretical discourse in the discipline, the best teaching methods at undergraduate and postgraduate levels, and the challenge of creative writers who are also university teachers.
