  abstract: Aimed toward graduate student instructors and other creative writing educators, Teaching Cultural Dexterity in Creative Writing offers a formula for important changes in creative writing instruction, especially in literary/creative nonfiction, probing how instruction might become more inclusive and accessible for minoritized/marginalized student-authors. The book chapters use antiracist, trauma-informed and anticolonial frameworks toward exploring the 21st-century professional, theoretical and institutional concerns surrounding creative writing practices in North American higher education. As a result, the book explores ways creative writing pedagogies and theories might be adapted for racially and linguistically marginalized (by English) student-authors, who often inhabit minoritized positions within North American colleges and universities. This book provides resources toward culturally dexterous nonfiction curricula, through the discussion of course readings, writing prompts following every chapter and additional sample course materials. As cultural dexterity has been explored to allow medical students to engage effectively with patients from multiple backgrounds, ethnic groups and sensitivities, Teaching Cultural Dexterity in Creative Writing examines why and how creative writing instruction must also be renegotiated. Applying as a frame the notion of cultural dexterity as it is taught to medical professionals to allow them to engage effectively with patients from all backgrounds, ethnics groups and with all sensitivities, Teaching Cultural Dexterity in Creative Writing examines why and how creative writing instruction needs to be urgently renegotiated. In this essential text for all creative writing instructors, McCray provides all the tools necessary to take positive action with discussions of potential readings, writing prompts and sample course materials.
