ABSTRACT As creative writing studies develops, it will draw upon previous scholarship in articles published in flagship journals like New Writing. This study examines the first nine years of New Writing articles and finds that use of citations increases over this period, and authors cite a core group of scholars frequently, building an academic canon. Additionally, some articles demonstrate an awareness of a scholarly community through sentence-subjects.
