Focused on the process of writing and critique, the book explores the relationship between writers and their work, as well as the impact of feedback on readers. Drawing from decades of experience in leading writing workshops, Ziegler emphasizes the importance of reflection and interaction in the writing journey. This resource aims to enhance both the creation and evaluation of writing, fostering a deeper understanding of the craft.
Ziegler's classroom becomes a writing workshop where students are given direction, but where individual growth and personal interests are encouraged. The Writing Volume 1 backs up numerous practical suggestions for teaching creative writing with discussions of the writing process and theory. Volume 2 is a big compendium of writing assignments, with practical advice on presentation and examples by adults and students.
