Creative Writing Studies Series publications: Rethinking creative writing by Stephanie Vanderslice (January 2012) Teaching creative writing, edited by Elaine Walker (Summer 2012) Creative writing, edited by Amal Chatterjee (Fall 2012)

RETHINKING CREATIVE WRITING “ Thoroughly researched, beautifully written, and [an] altogether important book”  Erika Dreifus in Practicing Writing In this passionate, iconoclastic, survey of Creative Writing as an academic discipline, Stephanie Vanderslice provides a provocative critique of existing practice. She challenges enduring myths surrounding creative writing – not least, that writers learn most from workshops. Through case studies of best practice from America and elsewhere, Vanderslice provides a vision of change, showing how undergraduate and postgraduate programs can be reformed to re-engage with contemporary culture. Stephanie Vanderslice is Associate Professor of Writing, University of Central Arkansas and co-editor of Can It Really Be Taught?: Resisting Lore in Creative Writing Pedagogy (Heinemann). Foreword by Steve May (Bath Spa Univ.). Publication date: 2012 (print), 2011 (e-book). Place of publication: Ely (UK). ISBNs: ePub edition: PDF edition: Hardback: Softback:

TEACHING CREATIVE WRITING “ This collection of writing exercises, directed at people who are new to the teaching of writing, or keen to reinvigorate their practice, has immensely practical potential. ”  Australasian Association of Writing Programs Teaching Creative Writing: Practical Approaches is designed to showcase proven approaches developed by practitioners in the ever-growing community of writers in higher education. Aimed at enabling those who teach the subject to review, borrow, and adapt ideas, the emphasis throughout is on diversity: the international team of contributors covers a variety of forms and genres. These include traditional and innovative components of creative writing courses. Elaine Walker teaches Creative Writing for the University of Wales, Bangor, and the Open University. Her publications include a novel, The Horses (Cinnamon Press), non- fiction, Horse (Reaktion Books and Kalima Press), and poetry (Roundyhouse, Caught in the Net). She has edited texts by William Cavendish (Long Riders’ Guild Press) and Margaret Cavendish (Serendipity). Publication date: Place of publication: Ely (UK). ISBNs: ePub edition: PDF edition:

CREATIVE WRITING Creative Writing: Writers on Writing brings together eight original literary works by eight authors. Each work is accompanied by a reflective commentary written by its author. In addition to the literary interest of the works themselves and of the authors’ commentaries, the book serves a valuable pedagogic purpose. Many creative writing courses in higher education require students to write commentaries to accompany their pieces of creative writing – yet students often find this requirement challenging. Similarly, tutors sometimes find the writing of commentaries challenging to teach. The commentaries in Creative Writing: Writers on Writing are designed to provide models for discussion and analysis. Creative Writing: Writers on Writing thus combines literary appeal with critical insight and academic support. Amal Chatterjee is the author of Across the Lakes (a novel published by Phoenix House and Penguin India) and Representations of India (Macmillan and St Martin’s Press). He teaches fiction on the M St course at the University of Oxford and on courses in Amsterdam and Zurich. Publication date: Place of publication: Ely (UK). ISBNs: ePub edition: PDF edition:

II. Fiction titles

The Outcasts novels by Alan Haselhurst ‘Alan’s books are an enjoyable read for all friends of cricket’ – Graham Gooch, OBE Series publications: Accidentally Cricket Occasionally Cricket Unusually Cricket

Accidentally Cricket With cartoons by Hoby. The Outcasts CC is England’s most infamous wandering cricket club. Somehow its pursuits of the noble ideals of cricket seem always to be accompanied by a good deal of beer, sex, and curry – not necessarily in that order – plus the attention of the emergency services. Now, in Accidentally Cricket, the Outcasts go global, causing mayhem in their distinctively disreputable style all the way from small-town Australia to the grounds of an English country house. Hardback (2009) ISBN:

Unusually Cricket With cartoons by Hoby. One would think that only a club with at least twenty-two players would arrange to play simultaneous fixtures. But with the Outcasts CC – England’s most notorious wandering club – it is different, of course. Still, the challenge provided by a clash of fixtures should at least allow the club to put behind it the unfortunate memories of their first ever fixture in France. Or perhaps not. Hardback (2010) ISBN:

Occasionally Cricket recounts the sorry tale of two of the club’s matches against village sides – and their unfortunate weekend challenge in Yorkshire. Hardback (2010) ISBN:
