 FORMS AND TYPES OF CREATIVE NONFICTION
• Literary styles of creative nonfiction present a unique challenge in
presenting the content through language, scenes, details, and point
of view.
• A creative nonfictionist is someone who possesses skills of a
narrator or storyteller and the mind of critical thinker.
• Creative nonfiction doesn’t only include facts but also elaborates,
interprets, and presents the work to the reader in an interesting
fashion. It is a compelling work of literature that combines facts
with facets of traditional genres.
 ELEMENTS AND STYLES

• Molding real-life experiences into essays where language reflects

content.
• Writers use scenes and details to create immediacy in their
stories– the ability to bring subject matter to life.

• The author’s presence, either directly or indirectly narrating the

story, creates a distinctive voice that reveals his/her personality,
attitude, beliefs, and interests.
