 Mission Statement

The Creative Writing Studies Organization (CWSO) explores and interrogates the practice and theory of creative writing. Where creative writing is concerned primarily with the production of creative texts, creative writing studies also applies methods from a range of disciplines to theorize and to research the pedagogy, history, practice, practitioners, and communities within the field of creative writing. CWSO supports efforts to advance our understanding of creative writing through pedagogical and scholarly efforts across a broad range of sites and subjects. We advocate for

  • Access to knowledge, information, and resources relating to creative writing studies
  • Interdisciplinary approaches to the study and understanding of creative writing across diverse teaching and learning environments
  • The amplification of marginalized stakeholders, constituencies, and communities in order to foster open conversations
  • The critical examination of undertheorized practices in the field of creative writing

What is the Creative Writing Studies Organization?

The Creative Writing Studies Organization was founded as a non-profit in early 2016. We are dedicated to helping creative writing studies establish itself through increasing the visibility of scholarship that pertains to creative writing and being an inclusive, diverse space that fosters open conversation about topics pertaining to the field. The organization does this through two primary means: its peer-reviewed, open-access publication  The Journal of Creative Writing Studies  and an annual Creative Writing Studies Conference, the first of which was held in fall 2016.

2023 Creative Writing Studies Conference - At the Nexus: Cross-Disciplinary Connections

The Creative Writing Studies Organization (CWSO) is now accepting proposals for the 8th Annual Creative Writing Studies Conference (CWSC) – our first in-person conference since 2020! The conference offers an exciting opportunity to rebuild past connections and create new ones. It will be held the weekend of October 20-22, 2023 at Shenandoah University in Winchester, Virginia .

Proposals for papers and workshops will be accepted through August 16, 2023.

We would love to see you in person. However, our world is different now, so with this conference we will continue to offer virtual options for both presenters and attendees to increase access and expand our community.

At the Nexus: Cross-Disciplinary Connections in Creative Writing (Partial CFP)

Creative Writing Studies lives in community with other fields. Grown out of writing studies, CWS has long made strides drawing on frameworks from literary studies, rhetoric and composition, craft studies, and creativity studies. In our past years’ conferences we have seen creative writing explored in tandem with journalism, cognitive psychology, education, critical theory, and trauma-informed care, and more. Given the ever-increasing interest in the field, however, we now find ourselves asking after the other cross-disciplinary connections that might enrich our work, as well as how our work might enrich these other disciplines from which we draw.

To that end, this year we are calling for papers and presentations that put Creative Writing Studies into conversation with subjects, practices, and disciplines often not associated with our field. CWS has historically located itself at the intersection of multiple branches of knowledge creation, but rather than think about the field’s precarious position or the ways it has often existed in tension with other fields, we might instead focus in on its cross-, multi-, inter-, poly- and trans-disciplinary potentials.  

In pursuing these connections, we resist the disciplinary siloing that has resulted from the institutional structures of academia. This is especially important during a time of political tension when access to knowledge as well as the production and reception of creative writing have become issues of contention in the public sphere. We as a field must be continually engaged in the project of intellectual renewal by conversing within and beyond our disciplinary boundaries.

For the full CFP, including instructions for submitting a proposal, please visit: https://creativewritingstudies.net/2023-conference/ .

If you are interested in receiving coaching for submitting a proposal or if you would like to receive feedback on a proposal in progress, please email Jon Udelson (CWSO Secretary) at [email protected] .

Lesbians Porn

The adult industry is full of numerous minor, niche subgenres that become well-known immediately and then vanish just as quickly, but the major ones, like lesbian porn, have been there for ages and continue to get better. There are entire websites devoted to lesbians fucking since it is such an incredible thing. In the end, there is nothing better than a stunning girl with a beautiful face and a body to die for when there are two of them fighting nasty. Nobody can suck a soft, wet pussy like another lady who is skilled in the technique. A tight cherry or an even tighter asshole can be kissed by soft, lesbian lips. However, things might progress much beyond intense pussy rubbing and licking.

Writing studies refers to an interdisciplinary community of scholars and researchers who study writing. Writing studies also refers to an academic, interdisciplinary discipline - a subject of study. Students in the U.S. may earn undergraduate degrees, master's degrees, and doctoral degrees in writing studies.

creative writing studies organization

Writing Studies is chiefly composed of four major subdisciplines:

  • writing – composition
  • professional and technical communication
  • computers and composition.

Synonymous Terms

Writing Studies may also be known as

  • Rhetoric and Composition

Composition Studies

  • Rhetoric & Culture 
  • Rhetorical Theory
  • Texts & Technology 
  • Writing History and Theory
  • Poetics, Rhetorics, Technologies.

Related Concepts: Discourse Community, Community of Practice

Literacy today is in the midst of a tectonic change. Even inside of school, never before have writing and composing generated such diversity in definition. (Yancey 2004, p. 298)  

What is Writing Studies?

1. writing studies refers to an interdisciplinary community of scholars and researchers who study writing.

creative writing studies organization

The study of writing has a distinguished heritage. Since antiquity, writing has been a topic of philosophical inquiry and research (see Wikipedia’s History of Writing) . People have been theorizing about how to write well since the emergence of writing in Mesopotamia 3400 to 3300 BC. The ancient Greeks were deeply interested in studies on rhetoric , logic, and grammar (see, e.g., Plato’s dialogues ).

In the modern university, writing studies remains a robust field of inquiry–particularly with innovations such as ChatGPT changing the landscape of composing .

2. Writing Studies refers to an interdisciplinary, academic discipline

Since the 1970s, U.S. institutions of higher education have offered undergraduate degrees, master’s and doctoral degrees that specialize in the study of writing.

Traditionally, disciplinary fields are defined by the name experts ascribe to their graduate-level degree programs. For instance, if you get an MA or a PhD in Chemistry, the name of your Ph.D. is Doctorate of Chemistry. However, this is not the case when it comes to a specialization in writing theory, research, or pedagogy. The database of Ph.D. and MA granting institutions, maintained by the Consortium of Doctoral Programs in Rhetoric and Composition , demonstrates disciplinary experts do not agree on a common term for the field. Here are some of the more popular titles for MA and Ph.D. programs:

  • Composition Studies;  
  • Writing Studies;
  • Rhetoric & Culture; 
  • Texts & Technology; 
  • Writing History and Theory; and 

Rhetoric & Composition

A quick review of the names of degree programs suggests the most common title is Rhetoric and Composition. And that title is supported by the name of the organization that tracks these programs, The Consortium of Doctoral Programs in Rhetoric and Composition .

Naming the discipline first after Rhetoric makes good sense. Rhetoricians hold the First Mover Advantage . The early works of Socrates, Aristotle, Isocrates, Cicero, Quintilian form the foundation of the discipline of writing studies. It was this rhetorical tradition that led Sherman Hill, president of Harvard, in 1869 to establish a dedicated course for the “study of the English language” (as qtd. in Miller, 2006).

Even so, no one seems terribly excited about the moniker Rhetoric and Composition. As of 5/19, no one has thought Rhetoric & Composition sufficiently important enough to warrant a Wikipedia page:

creative writing studies organization

And the title Rhetoric and Composition doesn’t show a lot of traction in Google’s NGrams of Books Published between 1800 and 2000.

creative writing studies organization

Composition Studies is an umbrella term that includes the works of rhetoricians and other subdisciplines. In support of this view, note how the Conference on College Composition and Communication, the major professional organization for this academic field, defines Composition:

The field of composition studies draws on research and theories from a broad range of humanistic disciplines—English studies, rhetoric, cultural studies, LGBT studies, gender studies, critical theory, education, technology studies, race studies, communication, philosophy of language, anthropology, sociology, and others—and from within composition and rhetoric studies, where a number of subfields have also developed, such as technical communication, computers and composition, writing across the curriculum, research practices, and the history of these fields.  Conference on College Composition and Communication

The primary journal in the field is called College Composition and Communication. And, the academic conference in the field has historically been The Conference on College Composition and Communication.

As of 2020, Chinese creative writing studies have more than ten years of development. The research trend in 2020 focuses on the development of creative writing studies under the context of new liberal arts; the exploration and categorisation of regional practices of the teaching of creative writing studies; and the amalgamation of creative writing studies and the cultural industry, digital technology, and the secondary and primary education. The studies of creative writing have been continuously expanding in these three aspects. In general, Chinese creative writing studies, with the opportunities brought by the development of New Liberal Arts, have been simultaneously developing in different areas that revolve around creative writing studies, including liberal education, writer training, cultural industry, digital technology and secondary and primary education.
