This chapter, written by Karen Stevens, describes the aims and ethos of the BA (honours) creative writing programme at the University of Chichester (UK), where Stevens has taught for more than twenty years. In keeping with the programme’s four essential components—which include reading like a writer, completing writing exercises, workshopping, and critiquing—Stevens argues for the value of creative writing pedagogy that “lean[s] into the exploratory,” nurturing an investigative attitude among students. To accomplish this, she encourages teaching students to feel comfortable with uncertainty. In workshop discussions and written feedback (as demonstrated in her commentary on a sample student story included at the end of the chapter), Stevens seeks to open possibilities for development and in this way guide students toward constructive rewriting.
