techniques of fiction writers to present
nonfiction in a “compelling, vivid, dramatic
manner”.
 “true
stories well told”
 In
some ways, creative nonfiction is like
jazz—it’s a rich mix of flavors, ideas, and
techniques, some of which are newly
invented and others as old as writing itself.
Creative nonfiction can be an essay, a journal
article, a research paper, a memoir, or a
poem; it can be personal or not, or it can be
all of these.
