The Practice of Creative Writing (4th Edition) – eBook

Regarding writing, The Practice of Creative Writing, 4th Edition (PDF) has a simple message: you can do this, and it’s worthwhile to try. Designed for students in the introductory course, The Practice of Creative Writing teaches writers how to trust their voice, experiment with form, and develop a writing process that allows them to spend more productive time at their desks. Rather than locking into one genre early, writers are encouraged to work among and between genres and focus on creating a writing practice that privileges close observation, patience, and techniques of pattern, energy, and shape.

Author Heather Sellers, who writes in multiple genres, has developed a lively, welcoming, student-centered approach that teaches creative concentration, close reading, and generating pages. She provides opportunities to be playful and to experiment at the same time she teaches students the importance of discipline, form, and craft. Heather Sellers is a certified online instructor, and The Practice of Creative Writing 4E is designed to be used in traditional face-to-face classrooms or in online education.

Every chapter begins with objectives for that module. Prompts and writing practices are carefully sequenced. Each chapter ends with genre-specific writing projects alongside hybrid and experimental prompts. The readings included in this new fourth edition invite students to experience an even wider range of innovative and new literature. A new chapter on creative ways to approach revision as a shaping practice engaged throughout the writing process helps students work harder on their writing.
