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.
