About the Book
Keywords in Creative Writing provides a brief but comprehensive introduction to the field of creative writing through its landmark terms, exploring concerns as abstract as postmodernism and identity politics alongside very practical interests of beginning writers, like contests, agents, and royalties. This approach makes the book ideal for the college classroom, and unique in the field, combining the pragmatic accessibility of popular writer's handbooks, with a wider, more scholarly vision of theory and research.
Reviews

What Raymond Williams's Keywords: A Vocabulary for Culture and Society did for cultural studies and M.H. Abrams's A Glossary of Literary Terms did for literary criticism, Keywords in Creative Writing will do for its field. David Starkey and the late Wendy Bishop have created a portable classic. Keywords in Creative Writing concisely explains crucial terms and concepts related to the writing process, types of writing, theory, teaching, creative writing as an academic subject, and the business of publishing. The book is both practical and inspired.

—Hans Ostrom, Professor of English, University of Puget Sound
