"...Based on observations of academic, community and conference writing workshops in Australia, USA and UK, this paper explores the methods used by workshop tutors, whether practising writers, academics, or teachers who are interested in writing. Three writing workshop case studies are given in illustration. A standard format for conducting workshops is identified, but the success of the workshop is likely to depend on the intention of the tutor...and the intention of the student in attending that tutor's writing workshops."--Author's abstract
