Macquarie University

Major in Creative Writing

The Creative Writing major equips you with both theoretical knowledge and practice based skills. Youll learn about the production and publishing contexts in which writing occurs, as well as the cultural and social issues that shape writing in Australia and internationally. Youll study fiction, poetry, non fiction, scriptwriting and writing for the digital environment. Applied writing units contain a workshop component where you develop your creative concepts and put them into practice through writing, revising and responding to feedback.
