This paper reports on perspectives of creative writing in English from the viewpoint of senior English teachers keen to reinvigorate conversations and strengthen connections with their colleagues in the middle years. It examines the ways creative writing is conceived as a literary art. Through reconceptualising creative writing as a unique literary art form, and working more closely with middle years teachers, these senior teachers' narratives suggest there is scope to strengthen students' creative capacities. If creative practice is shared and enacted between the two, students have more opportunity to develop: a sense of their writerly identity, the capacity to empathetically know self and others and the literary skill to artistically story their ideas.
