This book, New Writing Explorations: Researching Creative Writing, investigates creative writing as an area of research, building from a recognition of its qualities as a creative human practice. It presents a critical examination of current methodologies and highlights many of the latest advancements in the field of creative writing studies.

This book's contributors examine writerly knowledge and action, places and spaces, tested methods and an array of associated concepts. Chapters draw not only on critical ideas formed by examining the works of creative writers, but also on a range of individual writing activities and the lively and fluid dynamics we frequently encounter when we seek to use writing for both communication and art. The chapters in this volume provide excellent examples of the many avenues of inquiry seen in both practice-led and critical research in creative writing. This volume is relevant for students and scholars interested in the field of creative writing and cognate fields.

The chapters in the book were originally published as articles and editorials in the New Writing journal. They are accompanied by a new Introduction and Conclusion, as well as a Foreword by award-winning poet and critic, Dan Disney.
