We begin by introducing the special section of theCanadian Journal for Studies in Discourse and Writing/Rédactologieon play, visual strategies and innovative approaches to graduate student writing development. Most exciting for us to see as editors of this special section is how many authors from various locales are drawing on creative methods, signalling to us that in some ways this is a burgeoning area. We have papers from Germany, the U.K., Thailand, and at least three provinces in Canada. We have some poetry, examples of collages, photos of cats, shapes, and Lego™. We include the abstracts for each of the papers.
