AustLit

This subject is designed for students who, having completed Writing Project 1, have substantial experience in writing and are ready to work independently. Working under the supervision of an appropriate member of staff, students complete and polish their 15,000-word (or equivalent) creative project to a high standard (this 15,000-word project includes the 7,500-word, or equivalent, project undertaken in Writing Project 1, though these may be substantially rewritten, if desirable). The writing may be in any genre, depending on the viability of the project and the availability of an appropriate supervisor. Students are encouraged in this subject to explore and extend the possibilities of their chosen form and genre. They are also encouraged to independently form their own writing groups in which to discuss their work.
