All students are required to write assignments. Despite this, there seem to be few books available that provide concise guidelines as to how to compile them. Those that are available are often outdated and complicated, and do not illustrate well how the information, once gathered, should be integrated and implemented. Assignment writing uses practical examples to show clearly how to approach and write an assignment. Contents include the following: The process of assessing, planning, writing, editing and handing in an assignment; Technical requirements, such as the use of scientific language, abbreviations, tables and figures, as well as neatness and binding; Referencing techniques and the compilation of a list of sources; Formatting the document, from cover to cover. Assignment writing is aimed at all students needing to produce assignments to the standard required by tertiary institutions.

Creative writing takes on many genres, or forms: fiction, poetry, nonfiction and dramatic writing. Whilst all have their own principles and ‘rules’, all modes of writing overlap and borrow from each other, and so what you learn in one form can influence, inform and inspire your practice in others. Intersecting Genre holds this idea at its heart, embracing the dissolution of disciplinary and genre boundaries to discuss the ways each genre supports the others. Whilst traditional approaches typically discuss one genre independent of others, this book explores genre relationships with each chapter focusing on the intersection between 2 modes and what you can learn and the skills you can transfer by combining the wisdom gained from the study of, for example, fiction and poetry together. With most introductory creative writing courses aiming to apprise you of such mechanics of writing as narrative, pace, vocabulary, dialogue, imagery and viewpoint, Intersecting Genre is the ideal companion, offering a unique methodology that analyses these ideas as they feature across the different genres, thus giving you the ultimate, well-rounded introduction before you settle into the modes of writing that best suit you as your progress with your writing. Covering fiction, poetry, nonfiction, writing plays and screenwriting, and also taking stock of the forms that do not fit neatly into any genre silo, this book uses models, critical questions, writing warm-ups and writing practice exercises to give you a solid understanding of the points discussed and encouraging you to put them to practice in your own work. With the field of creative writing evolving constantly, and with approaches to teaching and learning the subject vast and continually expanding, this book offers a dynamic, and uniquely holistic method for developing your writing skills, asking you to deeply consider the issues, and possibilities, present in genre.
