Question

I write for fun, but I do have trouble putting my writings in genre. I would say I wrote more essays than actual stories. Would that possibly fall in non-fiction? If I'm writing about a certain essay about a personal experience and my perspective about it, would that be included in non-fiction?

Answer 1

The words “creative” and “nonfiction” describe the form. The word “creative” refers to the use of literary craft, the techniques fiction writers, playwrights, and poets employ to present nonfiction—factually accurate prose about real people and events—in a compelling, vivid, dramatic manner. The goal is to make nonfiction stories read like fiction so that your readers are as enthralled by fact as they are by fantasy
