CREDO. I believe. No other statement is so full of intent and subversion andpower. A Credo is a call to arms. It is a declaration. A Credo is the act of an individual pushing back against society, against established stigmas,taboos, values, and norms. A Credo provokes. It desires change. A Credo is an artist or community challenging dogma, and putting oneself on thefrontline. A Credo is art at risk. A Credo can be a marker of revolution. A Credo, is thus, the most calculating and simple form of a manifesto.

CREDOcreates a bridge from the philosophical to the practical, presenting a triad of creative writing manifestos, essays on the craft of writing, andcreative writing exercises. CREDO: An Anthology of Manifestos and Sourcebook for Creative Writing is a raw look at what motivates authors today.
