Review

This submission presents a book review article titled "'Weird, Wild or Wanton'" by Debra Adelaide, focusing on the comprehensive volume *A to Z of Creative Writing Methods*, edited by Deborah Wardle and her esteemed team. The title of the reviewed book itself, *A to Z of Creative Writing Methods*, immediately suggests a valuable and potentially indispensable resource for both practitioners and pedagogues in the creative writing field, aiming to systematically address a broad spectrum of techniques and approaches. The evocative title of Adelaide's review, meanwhile, hints at a critical, perhaps even provocative, engagement with the text, promising a lively and opinionated discussion. However, the provided abstract is remarkably sparse, stating only that "Debra Adelaide reviews A to Z of Creative Writing Methods, edited by Deborah Wardle et al." This extreme brevity severely curtails any ability to assess the substance or contribution of Adelaide's review. An effective abstract for a book review typically outlines the reviewer's main arguments, highlights key strengths or weaknesses of the book, and positions the review within the broader academic discourse. Without this essential information, it is impossible to gauge the depth of Adelaide's analysis, her critical perspective on the "Weird, Wild or Wanton" aspects (or lack thereof) of the methods presented, or the overall utility of her review for potential readers of the book. Consequently, while the *book* itself appears to be a significant addition to creative writing scholarship and pedagogy, and the *review's title* suggests an engaging piece, the current abstract provides no basis for evaluating the quality, insight, or critical value of Debra Adelaide's contribution. For a journal to properly evaluate such a submission, a much more developed abstract detailing the reviewer's specific focus, critical framework, and key findings regarding *A to Z of Creative Writing Methods* would be absolutely essential. This would allow readers and reviewers alike to understand how Adelaide's 'Weird, Wild or Wanton' perspective illuminates or challenges the methodologies presented in the collection.
