AbstractHistoryArchive Description

'Around 10 years ago, New Writing published an interview with Chris Bigsby. Professor Chris Bigsby of the University of East Anglia (UEA), ‘literary analyst and novelist’, as most biographical entries go. C.W.E. Bigsby, as he has sometimes been known in print. Christopher William Edgar Bigsby F.R.S.A. F.R.S.L. Chris Bigsby, biographer, and consummate interviewer of other writers, on stage, on T.V., in literary festivals and in classrooms. In short, a frighteningly accomplished ‘man of letters’, though that phrase seems threadbare when considering the Bigsby case.' (Editorial introduction)

‘Things Living in the Cyber-universe’: Facilitating Peer Workshopping in the Online Creative Non-fiction Classroom, Lili Pâquet , Ariella Van Luyn , single work criticism

'The writing workshop is a core pedagogical practice in the creative writing discipline in higher education and has significant researched benefits to students. As higher education moves increasingly online – a trend that is arguably escalated in response to the impact of COVID-19 – important questions are raised about if, and how, the writing workshop can be delivered online. This paper uses a literature review combined with analysis of small sample of anonymous student feedback about their experiences in one creative non-fiction subject where workshopping was an assessed learning activity. The authors argue that the benefits of face-to-face workshopping can be translated online, and that students may experience higher quality feedback and increased flexibility in participation. However, these benefits are complicated by the increased workload for students and instructors, challenges with digital literacy and unbounded timelines. The paper offers several recommendations for writing instructors facilitating peer workshopping online.'(Publication abstract)

Writing Poetically through the Moving Body: Finding Rhythm, Presence and Resonance, Joanne Yoo , single work criticism

'Creative writing bears many similarities to the moving body. Well-crafted writing is derived from the senses and follows the body’s natural rhythms. It is animated by the intent or voice of the author and resonates with others on an equally deep and authentic level. Embodied words flow at the right pitch to engage readers in mutually resonating play. Writing creatively involves accessing the body’s natural intelligence to craft words that breathe with life.' (Publication abstract)

Self Portrait / in Cross-sections / with Bird : A Monologue, Diane Stubbings , single work drama
'Self Portrait / In Cross-Sections / With Bird is a performance text that evolved from my experimentation with biologically driven dramaturgies. In this experiment, cancer biology was utilised as a dramaturgical model. Applied to Hamlet, the writing employed iterative techniques (for example the Microsoft Word dictation function) that favoured the accumulation of error while suppressing authorial imposition of form, structure and meaning on the emergent text. The aim of the experiment was to generate a text that, like cancer, was inclining away from order and towards ‘the inner edge of chaos’ (Sigston, Elizabeth A.W. & Bryan R.G. Williams. 2017. ‘An Emergence Framework of Carcinogenesis’. Frontiers in Oncology: Cancer Genetics 7: 198,'
