Title: | Breaking the pattern: Established writers undertaking creative writing doctorates in Australia | Contributor(s): | Masson, Sophie Veronique (author) | Publication Date: | 2016 | Open Access: | Yes | DOI: | 10.52086/001c.25318 | Handle Link: | https://hdl.handle.net/1959.11/19709 | Open Access Link: | http://www.textjournal.com.au/oct16/masson.htm | Abstract: | The focus of this article is an examination of the experiences of established writers who have recently completed, or are currently undertaking, a creative writing doctorate, against a background of change within the publishing industry. Is it primarily financial/career or creative control concerns that are influencing established writers to undertake creative doctorates in recent times? And how do these writers fare within the degree program? To explore these issues through individual stories, interviews were conducted, by email and phone, with six established professional writers who had recently completed, or were still undertaking, a creative doctorate as well as with four established creative writing academics, most of whom are authors themselves. Questions of motivation and experience, as well as outcome, are canvassed in this piece of original research, which provides an interesting snapshot of the current situation for established writers in Australia undertaking creative writing doctorates. | Publication Type: | Journal Article | Source of Publication: | Text, 20(2), p. 1-8 | Publisher: | Australian Association of Writing Programs | Place of Publication: | Australia | ISSN: | 1327-9556 | Fields of Research (FoR) 2008: | 199999 Studies in Creative Arts and Writing not elsewhere classified | Fields of Research (FoR) 2020: | 360299 Creative and professional writing not elsewhere classified | Socio-Economic Objective (SEO) 2008: | 970119 Expanding Knowledge through Studies of the Creative Arts and Writing | Socio-Economic Objective (SEO) 2020: | 280122 Expanding knowledge in creative arts and writing studies | Peer Reviewed: | Yes | HERDC Category Description: | C1 Refereed Article in a Scholarly Journal |
