The Practice of Creative Writing (4th Edition) – PDF

The message of The Practice of Creative Writing, Fourth Edition (PDF) is simple when it comes to writing: you have the ability to do this, and it’s worth giving it a shot. Intended for students taking the introductory course, The Practice of Creative Writing teaches writers how to have faith in their own voice, try out different forms, and establish a writing process that allows them to spend more productive time at their desks. Instead of limiting themselves to a single genre early on, writers are encouraged to work across genres and focus on creating a writing routine that prioritizes keen observation, patience, and techniques of pattern, energy, and form.

The author, Heather Sellers, who writes in various genres, has created an engaging, inclusive, student-focused approach that teaches creative focus, careful reading, and generating pages. While encouraging play and experimentation, she also emphasizes the importance of discipline, structure, and skill. A certified online instructor, Heather Sellers has designed The Practice of Creative Writing 4th edition for use in traditional face-to-face classrooms and online education.

Each chapter begins with specific objectives for that section. Prompts and writing exercises are thoughtfully progressed. Genre-specific writing projects and hybrid and experimental prompts are included at the end of each chapter. The readings in this new fourth edition offer students an even wider range of innovative and contemporary literature to explore. A new chapter on creative approaches to revision as a formative practice incorporated throughout the writing process encourages students to put extra effort into their writing.
