The AtoZ of Creative Writing Methods is an alphabetical collection of essays to prompt consideration of method within creative writing research and practice. Almost sixty contributors from a range of writing traditions and across multiple forms and genre are represented in this volume: from poets, essayists, novelists and performance writers, to graphic novelists, illustrators, and those engaged in multi-media writing or writing-related arts activism. Contributors bring to this collection their distinct and diverse literary and cultural contexts, defining, expanding and enacting the methods they describe, and providing new possibilities for creative writing practice. Accessible and provocative, AtoZ of Creative Writing Methods lays bare new developments and directions in the field, making it an invaluable resource for the teachers, research students and scholar-practitioners in the field of creative writing studies.
The collection of essays is an invitation to write by engaging with a syncretic collection of tropes and methods ranging from the use of archives and folklore as launch pads to writing activities to the process of queering texts. It also promotes the unmooring of writing from defined spaces by using concepts such as erasure, nonhuman imaginaries, uncertainty, unknowing and many more. These are exciting approaches to writing, proving that the literary creative process has always been multifaceted and inclusive. The book is a nudge to every person who wants to write creatively. * Lily Rose Tope, University of the Philippines Diliman, Philippines *
