Abstract / Summary

This chapter attempts to tease out the nuanced distinctions in creative writing pedagogy: concrete, identifiable skills that can objectively be identified, taught, and assessed; versus outcomes that are either events beyond the writer's control or subjective matters of taste that reside within the reader. Historically creative writing scholarship has somewhat elided these points, as early scholarship tended to focus on arguing that CW is fundamentally capable of being taught. As time has gone by, it has become necessary to look more closely at what exactly we are teaching, as against potential outcomes we may be preparing students to face.
