Writers Barnstorm Postgraduate Creative Writing Schools
View through CrossRef
Postgraduate creative writing has taken off and the candidates are under scrutiny: first-class passengers carrying literary gongs and impressive publication lists; business-class passengers with professional writing backgrounds in journalism and literary bureaucracy; economy-class passengers returning midlife from the world of work and carrying small publication records (a book, short stories, some poems); and student concession passengers fresh from Honours. This paper will argue that while all these groups enrich and diversify the creative writing cohort, economy-class passengers, focused and requiring little in-flight service, are value-added.
