Investigative Creative Writing is Mark Spitzer's lively and
original treatment of creative writing practice and teaching within
a college/university environment. The author presents an
experiential, discovery-based approach that builds on teaching
theories of established writers and scholars as well as current
innovators and his own extensive experience as a creative writer,
editor, and university academic. Teachers, students, and writers in
the fields of English, literary studies, composition and rhetoric,
applied linguistics, and education should find this book, written
by a prolific creative writer and enthusiastic writing teacher, not
only enlightening and engaging, but also useful. Investigative
Creative Writing can be envisioned as a practical tool illustrating
ways of overcoming hurdles that impede writers from venturing into
unknown territory where discoveries take place. In addition to
assisting in developing and honing cutting-edge creative writing
programs, this book will be helpful for writers in getting to the
meat of the matter, generating narratives and dialogue, identifying
arguments, fleshing out character traits, discovering direction for
plots, and developing a host of other skills that foster and
embolden a literary freedom of the imagination. The text includes
examples of teaching techniques and assignments from the author's
classes which are intended for instructors to adjust according to
their needs, along with extensive discussion of his own practices
of investigative creative writing and experience in teaching and
developing writing curricula.
