Crossing Lines: Practice and Pedagogy of Creative Writers Who Teach FYW

Tyler Gillespie

Abstract

Currently, creative writing and writing studies occupy different disciplinary positions, but this relationship doesn’t need to be adversarial. This study illustrates “line-crossing” pedagogies of two creative writers who teach FYW to further the discussion of creative writing’s place in FYW and to help bridge disciplinary gaps.
