The creative writing workshop: beloved by some, dreaded by others, and ubiqui­tous in writing programs across the na­tion. For decades, the workshop has been entrenched as the primary pedagogy of creative writing. In Creative Writing Pedagogies for the Twenty-First Cen­tury, editors Alexandria Peary and Tom C. Hunley gather together contributing experts from both creative writing and composition studies—a discipline rich with a wide range of established peda­gogies— to offer innovative alternatives to the traditional creative writing work­shop.

Contributors in this volume pres­ent fresh and inventive methods for the teaching of creative writing. Each chapter offers both a theoretical and a historical background for its respective pedagogi­cal ideas, as well as practical applications for use in the classroom. This myriad of methods can be used either to supple­ment the customary workshop model or as stand-alone roadmaps to engage and reinvigorate the creative process for both students and teachers alike.
