Course Description

The course is a natural progression from the two Creative Writing Foundations courses offered, leveraging students’ enhanced understanding of the intricate network of connections between poetry and prose and between fiction and non-fiction. The course creates inclusive spaces for creative writing, enabling students to cultivate a distinctive identity as creative writers. This involves honing a voice and perspective influenced by cultural and gender identities and deriving an experimental writing style from traditional elements and multilingualism. Although conducted in specialised groups, each focusing on a particular genre, such as poetry, fiction, and creative non-fiction, the course embraces inclusivity on multiple levels by encouraging writing across genres and presentation across media and by drawing from and adapting Anglophone, transnational, and other literary traditions. Each workshop group comprises but is not limited to prompt-based exercises, peer review, craft analysis, editing and revision, and collaborative activities. Known as the Creative Writing Workshop, the course emphasises the writing and workshopping processes, where students produce and reproduce drafts based on self-reflection and feedback received from peers and the instructor. Through this intensive, hands-on writing and workshopping experience, students explore and cultivate their unique writing perspectives and styles.
