The Australian Association of Writing Programs

The Australian Digital Thesis (ADT) program exists to provide a database of theses produced by the postgraduate research students at Australian (and some New Zealand) universities. Users can extract full text PDF versions for their own research or interest. This is a rich resource for all scholars in writing, whether higher degree candidates or their supervisors or examiners. Full information about searching the ADT is available on their site. Use the ‘refine search’ options to direct your search. For instance, if you search ‘creative writing’, you will be offered over a hundred options; you can limit this by entering subsequent terms in your area of interest. For instance, including ‘metafiction’ in the ‘all fields’ field will bring up only 3 options.
