Publisher's Synopsis
Creative writing is any writing that goes beyond the boundaries of ordinary formal, journalistic, scholarly or technological types of literature, usually characterized by the emphasis on narrative art, character development, and the use of literary conventions, or the different traditions of poetry and poetry.Due to the lack of definition, writing such as feature stories can be considered as creative writing, even though they fall under journalism, because the content of the features focuses specifically on narrative and character development.Fictional and non-fictional works fall within this category, including novels, biographies, short stories and poems. Within academic settings, creative writing is usually split into fiction and poetry groups, with an emphasis on writing in an original style, rather than imitating pre-existing tropes such as crime or horror.Writing for the screen and stage - screenwriting and playwriting - are often taught separately, but they also fall within the category of creative writing.
