“And there are two types of stories. One type is one's own story. The other type is telling the stories of others. Thanks to this genre, writers of nonfiction can now use the tools of the reporter, the points of view and ear for dialog of a novelist, and the passion and wordplay of the poet.” TwoStoriesUsePassionViewsPoetTypeToolsEarsPoint Of ViewThanksGenreNovelistsNonfictionReportersWordplay Author:Lee Gutkind
“The word 'creative' refers simply to the use of literary craft in presenting nonfiction—that is, factually accurate prose about real people and events—in a compelling, vivid manner. To put it another way, creative nonfiction writers do not make things up; they make ideas and information that already exist more interesting and, often, more accessible.” PeopleWayIdeasRealUseInterestingCreativeEventsInformationCraftsProseNonfictionAccurateCompellingVividAnother WayPresentingCreative Nonfiction Author:Lee Gutkind
