Abstract:

Writing reviews of other people’s work is a highly engaging, but often challenging, form of creative writing. The critic needs to be aware of a variety of styles and comfortable working with constraints, balancing their own voice with that of the artist whose work they are reviewing. This chapter explores the importance of the “critic-fan” as a creative writing position, arguing that the writer’s own fandom should provide inspiration for their work. Here there are examples of how to write different review types showing the process of creative engagement as a critic-fan. The creative writing process in relationship to deadlines, form and expectation of genre and audience is also explored, with specific outcomes to demonstrate.
