Can It Really Be Taught? Resisting Lore in Creative Writing Pedagogy, edited by Kelly Ritter and Stephanie Vanderslice

Fifteen experienced teachers, writers and researchers analyze long-accepted elements and theories of teaching creative writing, such as:

• workshop practices
• the canon of creative-writing craft books
• the criteria for grading (including the myth of the easy A) 
• the mythologized presence of the writer in film

Let creativity have its mystery, but take the mystery out of teaching creative writing.  Read Can It Really Be Taught? and join the conversation.

Can It Really Be Taught? is available online from Heinemann Boynton-Cook (www.heinemann.com), as well as Amazon and Barnes and Noble.
