Creative Nonfiction
Creative Nonfiction is the writing of dramatic, true stories using scenes, dialogue, detailed descriptions and other techniques usually employed by poets and fiction writers about important subjects - from politics, to economics, to sports, to the arts and sciences, to racial relations, and family relations. Creative nonfiction writers do not make things up but present ideas and information that already exist in a more interesting and an accessible form.

The primary goal of a creative nonfiction writer is to communicate information such as personal essays, memoir, travel writing, food writing, biography, literary journalism, much like a reporter. However, the information should be fashioned to reads like fiction. But, in order for it to be considered creative nonfiction, it must be factually accurate, and written with attention to literary style and technique.
