Essential reading for undergraduate and graduate-level creative writers who teach, particularly those who question the traditional workshop emphasis on publication and who are open to fecund combinations of rule-breaking, literary conventions, and new media … Composition, Creative Writing Studies, and the Digital Humanities unpacks more than three decades of scholarship to establish another nascent field, digital creative writing studies … [It] advance[s] the rigor of creative writing as an academic discipline with deep ties to the sister world of composition and rhetoric while nudging teacher-writers toward innovative, process-oriented pedagogies and heuristics.

The Review of English Studies

Composition, Creative Writing and the Digital Humanities is essential reading for any writer, writing teacher or writing scholar who recognizes that writing in the 21st century is inextricably bound to technology. By establishing, via the Digital Humanities, a “point of contact,” between creative writing and composition studies as they converge and diverge, Adam Koehler recognizes and then maps the “shared space” between these two fields of writing studies, presciently locating digital modality in this intersection and describing its potential for not only illuminating and re-weaving these strands of scholarship together into something new, but also for creating both new texts and new knowledge. A visionary, landscape-altering book, I will be recommending and teaching from it for a long time to come.
