Professional and Creative Writing
Writers have never been more in demand. Writers use the most basic, flexible and powerful of technologies - language and the ability to tell stories. Writing at Deakin explores techniques of creativity, language, structure and editing.
News: 15 February 2012 - Julie Maclean, a PCW student at Geelong, has just been shortlisted for the prestigious Crashaw International Prize for a first collection of poetry, published by Salt: "We have selected a shortlist of ten writers we believe have produced superb first collections of poetry". Julie is the only Australian poet shortlisted!
