This is a group that should have been part of the MLA a long time ago, so yes, support its formation.

I support this petition. — Paige C. Morgan

I also support the creation of this forum, which will bring together scholars and practitioners of creative writing, new media composition, and electronic literature to the great benefit of their various communities and fields.

I support this petition.–Dene Grigar

I believe this group will help scholars in both rhetoric and composition and creative writing have the visibility they deserve in the MLA, especially since both groups are informing some of the most exciting scholarship being produced today. I fully support the creation of this group.

I wrote this post explaining why support for this Forum is a great idea, and urging friends in the Electronic Literature Organization to sign the petition.

I support the creation of a RCWS Creative Writing Forum because I believe it will gather together storytellers publishing in digital, print and hybrid settings.  It’s got the potential to bridge communities that share common goals but don’t yet hang out all in one place.

I am adding my name in support of this group and forum: Andrew Klobucar

I sign to affirm that the Creative Writing group should be started at MLA this year.
