From social media tools such as Twitter and Facebook to more advanced software like Inform 7, the book investigates the benefits and potential challenges these technologies present instructors in the classroom. Written with the everyday instructor in mind, the book includes practical classroom lessons that can be easily adapted to creative writing courses regardless of the instructor's technical expertise.<p/><br></br><p><b> Review Quotes </b></p></br></br><br><p>"This book should have great value for teachers of creative writing seeking to connect with games, social media, and other digital developments. It also demonstrates how creative practice can animate and inform the Digital Humanities, and makes compelling reading for anyone interested in the present and future of writing." --<i>Stuart Moulthrop, Professor of English, University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee, USA</i> <p/>"With this book, creative writing theory and pedagogy finally arrives in the twenty-first century with both feet planted firmly on the ground and leaning toward the future. A rich compendium that stakes out a territory from which to consider the countless ways in which digital culture influences the creative writing classroom, Creative Writing in the Digital Age will influence how you teach and how you think about teaching. It's a game changer-and it's about time." --<i>Stephanie Vanderslice, Professor, University of Central Arkansas, USA</i> <p/>"Creative writing in the academy has for too long been wedded to a print-based worldview and a rather narrow range of literary aesthetics. <i>Creative Writing in the Digital Age </i>confronts both of those issues directly. This book is much more than a guide for creative writing as it looks toward the future; it is also a manifesto for how creative writing can survive--and thrive--in the present." --<i>Tim Mayers, Associate Professor of English, Millersville University, USA</i></p><br><p/><br></br><p><b> About the Author </b></p></br></br><p><b>Michael Dean Clark</b> is Associate Professor of Writing at Azusa Pacific University, USA.
