Teachers who will write books: creative writing and literary fickleness in the classroom of those studying teaching

Most modern Valencian authors of children's literature combine their creative sides with the craft of teaching. That is, these writers are also teachers, and they have acquired and honed their literary skills and techniques outside of the classroom, as the teaching programs they study do not consider the practice of creative writing a literary competence. The current article presents the results of a pilot program in Catalan, the objective of which was to alleviate and reverse this frightening reality. It took place alongside the university degree program that prepares future teachers. Under this project, teachers in training work on and experiment with their literary abilities in both individual and group settings. Ultimately, they are provided with a range of resources aimed at helping them implement writing in the school environment while stimulating their artistic desires to become writers.
