Creative nonfiction is a genre of nonfiction that uses literary techniques to narrate facts. For writer Lee Gutkind, creative nonfiction is “true stories, well told.” These true stories can involve one’s personal life (i.e. memoir, biography, autobiography), travel experience (i.e. travelogue), journalistic expressions (i.e. op-eds, feature articles), lyrical essays, cultural commentary, and personal anecdotes. The versatility of CNF makes it one of the most exciting forms to be familiar with. In this course, we will explore different types of creative nonfiction genres and learn to incorporate them into our writing.
