Writing in Practice: The Journal of Creative Writing Research

 Full details 

NAWE's Writing in Practice aims to explore the nature of the art of writing, highlighting current academic thinking and practice, and reflecting on this with an international outlook.

The journal encourages the investigation of a broad range of approaches to practice research, focusing on critical discussion of creative process, and critical examination of research contexts, and Creative Writing’s history and pedagogy. Creative Writing itself is welcomed when integral to an article.

Submissions should be 4-10,000 words long and include an abstract of up to 200 words. A biographical note of up to 200 words should be provided in a separate document. Nowhere in the submission should your name, initials or any other indication of your identity be given as all submissions will be anonymously peer reviewed.

Before submitting your work, please ensure that you read the style guide, downloadable to the right. Ensure your submitted document is anonymised. Submissions that ignore these guidelines may be rejected. Submit your work using the online system below. Please ensure that you are submitting to the correct journal (Writing in Practice, not Writing in Education) and the correct Volume number.

Further information

The aim of this journal is to encourage research in the field of Creative Writing. We recognize that this research is principally undertaken through the act of creating. Creative Writing academics invest knowledge and understanding into their creative practice and utilise existing knowledge to help innovate and evolve their own work and the broader subject. The articulated results of this practice research demonstrate and develop existing subject knowledge.

We seek scholarly articles about practice and process that contextualize, reflect on and respond to existing knowledge and understanding in the form of poetics and/or exegesis. Creative Writing itself is welcome when integral to an article. While we also welcome critical examinations of the international history and pedagogy of Creative Writing, such work must evidence a wide reading and contextualization of the existing literature and make a significant and well-articulated contribution to knowledge in those fields.
