A lively, practical approach to writing in four creative genres.
How can students with widely varied levels of literary experience learn to write poetry, fiction, creative nonfiction, and drama — over the course of only one semester? In Creative Writing: Four Genres in Brief , David Starkey offers solutions to the challenges of teaching the introductory creative writing course: (1) concise, accessible instruction in the basics of writing poetry, fiction, creative nonfiction, and drama; (2) short models of literature to analyze, admire and emulate; (3) inventive and imaginative assignments that inspire and motivate. For the fourth edition, in response to reviewer requests, the literature and writing prompts have been significantly refreshed and David Starkey has added "Write Before You Read," prompts at the beginning of each chapter, brief author biographies and dates of publication following works in the anthologies, new guidelines on conducting genre-specific workshops both in-person and online, and a new section on writing for social change.
New to This Edition
“Starkeys Creative Writing: Four Genres in Brief is one of the most comprehensive introductory texts currently being published. The writing on craft fundamentals provide a strong foundation for beginning writers and the diverse examples in the anthology feature some of the best contemporary authors. Ive been using this text since the first edition and feedback from students is always excellent.” —Thomas Maltman, Normandale CC “My favorite part of the text is Starkeys clear, succinct chapters explaining the conventions of each genre. He provides students with enough information to begin writing in an unfamiliar genre without completely overwhelming them.” —Yelizaveta Renfro, Saint Mary’s College “A top-notch textbook on creative writing that dissects poetry, prose and drama for beginners.” —Robert Moreira, The University of Texas, Rio Grande Valley “ Creative Writing is a fantastic book that deftly engages early writers in the craft. Starkeys focus on shorter forms cleverly balances the 21st-century drive for concision with the eternal elements of good writing: inspiration, practice, and revision.” —Christopher Cartright, Georgia Southern University

David Starkey is Professor of English, Director of the Creative Writing Program, and former Director of the Composition Program at Santa Barbara City College. A frequent collaborator with the late Wendy Bishop, Starkey helped develop a pedagogy focused on the cross-pollination of composition and creative writing. In addition to his work with Bishop, which includes the co-authored Keywords in Creative Writing (2006), he is the editor of two collections of essays on pedagogy, Teaching Writing Creatively (1998) and Genre by Example: Writing What We Teach (2001), and a special issue of Teaching English in the Two-Year College (Dec. 2014). Starkey is a poet ( Dance, You Monster, to My Soft Song, 2021; What Just Happened, 2021), a writer of fiction and creative nonfiction (published in American Literary Review, in Cimarron Review, in Living Blue in the Red States, and elsewhere), and a playwright whose plays have been produced across the U.S. Starkey is also a committed practitioner, and his writing on corequisite composition is informed by his participation in SBCC’s Express to Success program, an early-adopter of the ALP/corequisite model. His conference presentations in recent years have emphasized his pedagogy and passion for working with a broad range of student writers. He is currently editing a collection of essays on teaching corequisite composition.

Text is modular, yes, but I would like to see the addition of a section on dramatic writing.
Organization/Structure/Flow rating: 5
Topics are presented in logical, clear fashion.
Interface rating: 5
Navigation is good.
Grammatical Errors rating: 5
No grammatical issues that I could see.
Cultural Relevance rating: 3
I'd like to see more diverse creative writing examples.
As I stated above, textbook is good except that it does not include a section on dramatic writing.

About the Book
This free and open access textbook introduces new writers to some basic elements of the craft of creative writing in the genres of fiction, poetry, and creative nonfiction. The authors—Rachel Morgan, Jeremy Schraffenberger, and Grant Tracey—are editors of the North American Review, the oldest and one of the most well-regarded literary magazines in the United States. They’ve selected nearly all of the readings and examples (more than 60) from writing that has appeared in NAR pages over the years. Because they had a hand in publishing these pieces originally, their perspective as editors permeates this book. As such, they hope that even seasoned writers might gain insight into the aesthetics of the magazine as they analyze and discuss some reasons this work is so remarkable—and therefore teachable. This project was supported by NAR staff and funded via the UNI Textbook Equity Mini-Grant Program.

There are only 3 primary genres: Poetry, Prose, & Drama. The genre of Prose holds both fiction and creative non-fiction. [as well as newspapers and journal articles] Although I can't read sample, I'll go with a straight 3 stars here. The title alone however doesn't inspire confidence. Surprised Macmillan let this slide.
