    Creative nonfiction (also known as literary nonfiction or narrative nonfiction or literary journalism or
    verfabula) is a genre of writing that uses literary styles and techniques to create factually accurate
    narratives. Creative nonfiction contrasts with other nonfiction, such as academic or technical writing
    or journalism, which are also rooted in accurate fact though not written to entertain based on prose
    style. Many writers view creative nonfiction as overlapping with the essay.

    There is only one challenge for creative non-fiction writers, and that is ethics and accuracy. Basically,
    creative non-fiction is the opposite of fiction.

    Methods in Creative Non-Fiction Writing

    (1) selecting a topic, (2) gathering the facts, (3) narrowing toward a thesis, (4) organizing the
    material, (5) writing a draft, (6) revising the draft, and (7) writing the final paper.

    How to Read and Critique Creative Non- Fiction?


    The Novelist’s/ Writers View of Reality- all novelists/ writers are product of a certain
    philosophy and social condition. He is not separated to the concrete hence not living in an
    alien dimension of fiction like we commonly understand.

    Character in the Novel- character/s in a novel is the actualization of the way how the writer
    immersed in his material world.

    The Novelist’s/ Writers at Work- According to Francois Mauriac, “Every novelist ought to
    invent his/her own technique.” But great novelists and writers, after mastering the craft, are

    1
    intended to break the mold like what Balzac did.

    Description of the Characters- a storyteller is not a painter, he/she must build the images in
    the reader’s mind. The mastery of the details, both on concrete and abstract, will save the
    writer from the abys of history.

    Point of View- this questions the position of the narrator in/of the story.

    Plot, Story, Theme- causality of everything. Writing is like living the actual living.

    Style- in every page and sentence/s and paragraph/s construction, the writer may apply
    his/her own unique style.
