Creative Writing Textbook
Intersecting Genre: A skills-based Approach to Creative Writing, by Jason Olsen, is a multi-genre creative writing textbook unlike any other. It being published by Bloomsbury Publishing and will be released in September 2023. “Intersecting Genre holds this idea at its heart, embracing the dissolution of disciplinary and genre boundaries to discuss the ways each genre supports the others. Whilst traditional approaches typically discuss one genre independent of others, this book explores genre relationships with each chapter focusing on the intersection between 2 modes and what you can learn and the skills you can transfer by combining the wisdom gained from the study of, for example, fiction and poetry together.”
