Teaching Creative Writing by Andrew Crumey

Many creative writers, whether they be poets, novelists, or essayists, teach creative writing. Andrew Crumey, a novelist and former literary editor, is a prime example. In this academic article, Crumey illustrates and addresses different authors' approaches in teaching and/or learning creative writing. I will use this academic article as an example of the many articles about teaching creative writing.

Writing Without Shelter Adrienne Perry

While Andrew Crumey's article was purely academic, with creative writing as only its subject matter, Adrienne Perry combines creative and academic writing in her article. This exemplifies how creative writers often integrate their craft into whatever they write, even when it is for an academic purpose. I will analyze how effective this is, and identify areas of improvement. More importantly, however, I will identify how creative writing in academic journals makes creative writers' contributions unique and important.

Inclusion and Diversity: A Manifesto and Interview Tonya C Hegamin

Not all academic journal articles written by creative writers focus on the act of writing. Sometimes, creative writers' contributions focus on matters for which they have a great deal of passion. Tonya C Hegamin is a perfect example of this. In this article, Hegamin pushes for more diverse teachers and administrators, especially in the creative writing program. I will analyze how she, as a creative writer, uses language persuade her audience to see her point of view. I will also analyze how and why she uses an interview to communicate her stance.
