It’s a practice-based form of learning and teaching.īut because it is in academia there is all this paraphernalia that has to go with it. They are drawing upon their knowledge of what the problems are and how those problems might be tackled. So in teaching aspirant writers how to write they are drawing upon their own experience of working in that medium. I think most people in the UK who teach creative writing have come to it via writing – they are bona fide writers who publish poems and novels and play scripts and the like, and they have found some way of supporting that vocation through having a career in academia. I draw a distinction between writing, which is what writers do, and creative writing.
