Abstract
Our project is titled "Creative Writing in the Digital Age" and we set out to survey how modern creative writing is taught. We created a Google Form sent out to many members of the English and Creative Writing community, both within our class and other classes. We also interviewed Dr. Conner Bassett regarding his experience as a contemporary professor of creative writing to get his insight. We are waiting on further responses from our survey, so results have not been translated yet. We propose that our conclusion will center around whether or not technology has had a significant--and positive--impact on contemporary teaching of creative writing. We also hope our research will give insight into where the line is drawn between creative freedom and distinct elements of teaching, such as writing prompts, rubrics, or other strictures.
