Essay Project is a co-requisite course to Creative Writing Project. It will hone your research and essay writing skills in relation to your major project. You will read and critically synthesise a range of texts in a discursive manner to situate your work within a relevant cultural and intellectual framework. The essay project could manifest itself in a variety of ways, including an exegetical essay, an industry focused analysis, a set of theoretical annotations, or an academic literary studies paper. The focus of this course is to harness and demonstrate intellectual rigour and a focused research endeavour that provides insights to your work as a creative writer.
