'This important and timely book is a guide to understanding and enacting research in creative writing. The text is clear and beautifully written. Its argument is coherent and its advice is useful. Its author, Jen Webb, who is a Distinguished Professor in Creative Practice at the University of Canberra, is perfectly positioned to produce such a text – well known to all in creative writing teaching and scholarship in Australia, and to many further afield. A poet and artist, Webb is a leading and eminent researcher in the field, experienced research degree supervisor and examiner, a past Chair of the Australasian Association of Writing Programs and current, or previous, editor of important journals in the field including Axon, TEXT and Meniscus.'  (Introduction)
