Teaching Creative Writing in Canada maps the landscape of Creative Writing programmes across Canada. Canada's position, both culturally and physically, as a midpoint between the two major Anglophone influences on Creative Writing pedagogy-the UK and the USA-makes it a unique and relevant vantage for the study of contemporary Creative Writing pedagogy.

Showcasing writer-professors from Canada's major Creative Writing programmes, the collection considers the climate-crisis, contemporary workshop scepticism, curriculum design, programme management, prize culture, grants and interdisciplinarity. Each chapter concludes with field-tested writing advice from many of Canada's most influential professors of fiction, poetry, creative nonfiction and drama.

This authoritative volume offers an important national perspective on contemporary and timeless issues in Creative Writing pedagogy and their varied treatment in Canada. It will be of valuable to other creative teachers and practitioners, those with an interest in teaching and learning a creative art and anyone working on cultural and educational landscapes.
