Creative Writing Analysis is a guide to solving creative writing problems; acting as a practical introduction to progressing a creative writing project as well as an exploration of the many ways in which creative writing can be understood. Through chapters on topics including writing methods, textual analysis, practice-led research, interdisciplinarity, and cultural contexts, this book explores the various forms of analysis that can be employed. Graeme Harper provides information to assist in creative decision making, and as a means for discussing approaches and outcomes in creative writing. The book also includes an Afterword by Dianne Donnelly, whose work in Creative Writing Studies has been widely recognized as a contribution to the critical examination of creative writing. Whether you are a creative writer seeking to improve your work or you are simply interested in analysing the practice and outcomes of others doing creative writing, Creative Writing Analysis offers strategies to assist students and practitioners of creative writing and literary studies.
