Abstract

This article focuses on the impact which training for creative writers has had in the wider Afrikaans literary system during the period 1995-2012 with specific reference to creative writing as postgraduate qualification. Development of the subject on tertiary level and the role of mentorship in the development of creative writing talent are examined. Furthermore, the investigation covers the number of solo book publications to date by people who followed courses in creative writing, how training in writing affects packaging, as well as the reception and awarding of literary prizes. Lastly, the teaching of creative writing within the literary system (both positively and negatively) is taken into consideration.
