ABSTRACT
The author of this chapter published a monograph in 2011, Rethinking Creative Writing, calling for more ‘responsible creative writing teaching’, which asked programmes to become more responsive to the needs of their students by providing more courses in publishing careers, literary citizenship, and supporting oneself as a writer. An informal survey of programmes demonstrates that this call was answered and that many more programmes offer these courses today. However, the monograph also asked these programmes to consider ways to foster diversity and inclusion. This result has been more problematic. The author offers suggestions for achieving this outcome.
