What it covers
This unit focuses on sudden writing for online and offline publication. We consider short-form creative writing (microfiction, flash fiction, prose poetry, and hybrid forms of writing). The unit introduces students to innovative examples of sudden writing, and examines the relationship between sudden writing, society and culture including First Nations and global storytelling perspectives. The unit facilitates creative experimentation and opportunities for students to form collaborations with arts organisations, publishers, and other industry and creative practitioners. Students work with a Designated Industry Partner to produce portfolio-ready creative artefacts, that showcase their capabilities as practice-led researchers with transferable skills.
