Creative Writing

You love to write, but writing is so much more than the ‘spontaneous overflow of powerful feeling’. It is a craft, an art, and every art requires patient apprenticeship, training, and professional encouragement.

Studying Creative Writing at the University of Adelaide gives you all that and more. Our world-class writers teach their craft on the basis of years of experience, award-winning publications, and hundreds of hours in the classroom. In lectures, they impart their knowledge with authority and style; and in interactive workshop seminars, they allow you to experiment, share, revise, and improve your work with a form of continuous feedback and peer review. You will learn to create skilful short stories, poems, life-writing, and creative non-fiction, and how to develop and sustain your own life-long reflective writing practices, on the basis of living examples of literary excellence. We are proud that Nobel Prize winner Prof. John JM Coetzee ( Disgrace ) has been associated with the Department for 20 years. We are passionate about our love of the craft of writing, and we want you to share in that passion by becoming the best writer you can be.

Our teaching

The Department of English, Creative Writing and Film offers a large range of undergraduate courses in Creative Writing. Our introductory first-year course in ‘the Essentials’ equips you with most of the fundamental skills you will need to pursue writing at the highest levels. At senior levels, we offer a wide range of courses: The Short Story, Contemporary Poetry, Novel Writing, Travel Writing, Script-Writing, Posthuman Writing, Editing for Writers, Political Writing, Apocalypse Fiction, and more.  Come and sample what it is like to write a literary text … and stay for the major in Creative Writing!

Our research

The Department of English and Creative Writing has a vibrant research culture, and contributes world-class monographs, research papers, and related outputs in many areas.

We welcome all inquiries to study with us at postgraduate as well as undergraduate levels in Creative Writing.

The project is based in QUT’s Digital Media Research Centre, under the Digital Media Industries, Economies and Regulation program. This project will examine the contemporary dynamics of cultural and creative activity in Australia.

It will: (1) significantly advance methodologically-innovative and policy-relevant research into Australian cultural and creative activity by closely integrating population-level and ‘hotspot’ analysis; (2) develop a comprehensive, contemporary national analysis of Australian cultural and creative activity, comparing Census 2016 data with Census 2011 and 2006, and complement this analysis with other relevant datasets; (3) conduct case studies of the role creatives in general, creative services, and embedded creatives play in contributing to innovation at the firm and the sector level in sectors which have well above average creative inputs; (4) create an empirically-derived taxonomy of creative hotspots based on concentrations of creative occupations, co-occurrence of creative occupations, size and growth of the creative sectors and correlations with other innovation and employment indicators; and (5) conduct focused qualitative studies of sample hotspots to understand and report on the underlying causes for their well above-average creative activity status, their potential for sustainable growth, and dynamics of the creative systems at work in the identified hotspots.

Moschellandsbergite (exceptionally rare)

Item description.

Here we have an incredibly hard to find specimen of Moschellandsbergite, a silver mercury amalgam species, that is among the great metallic mineral rarities for collectors. The species was named in 1938 in honor of Moschellandsberg (shortened to Landsberg on most labels you'll see) the type locality for the species. This piece is from the famous Berezovsk deposit in Russia, best known as the type locality for Crocoite (the first pieces were identified in 1766!) but nearly 100 species have been reported from this locality according to the entry on mindat. I will note that mindat does not list Moschellandsbergite as coming from Berezovsk, but the locality info comes directly from Kurt Hefendehl's personal collection catalogue. With that said, this large miniature / small cabinet sized piece hosts a few iron-oxide coated exposed vugs on Quartz which play host to semi-radial groups of soft silvery-grey metallic Moschellandsbergite which measure up to 1.2 cm across. We have photographed the Moschellandsbergite with a Canon MP-E 65 mm macro lens to better illustrate the quality. A supreme rarity for any species collector or a fan of Russian minerals. It's the only one we've ever seen, and I doubt that we'll have another to offer anytime soon, so don't miss out. From the collection of Kurt Hefendehl (#688 Ru), a well-known German collector all over Europe with worldwide contacts to dealers and collectors. He started collecting seriously at the age of 14 and his great and varied worldwide collection reached over 6000 pieces. He was very active mineralogically until shortly before his passing in 2020 at the age of 82. Considering his collection had a large number of pieces, it still had an unusually high standard of quality from most worldwide localities. He particularly specialized in all classics as well as minerals of the Black Forest, where he spent much time collecting. His Black Forest and German subcollections went to his good friend Wolfgang Wendel. We at The Arkenstone have the privilege of offering the remainder of this great worldwide collection for the coming months/years through our various platforms.
