This topic allows third-year Bachelor of Creative Arts (Creative Writing) students to focus on their own projects in an intensive workshop environment. It also aims to encourage them to attempt a longer, more experimental or collaborative project. Students will develop their editing skills, practise oral presentation and have the opportunity to work collaboratively. In addition, they will develop an advanced understanding of genre and writing strategies as well as of the creative industries.

It is expected that students will attend the Adelaide Festival of Arts Writers' Week.

This topic aims to:

develop and extend creativity
provide opportunities for students to develop and critically analyse their own creative work
extend students' skills as workshoppers, editors, readers, presenters and listeners
