Creative Writing is a mega-genre. It’s a cluster of genres including poetry, fiction, drama, screenwriting, creative, memoir, and travel writing.
Creative Writing tends to be expressive, imaginative, and literary. People read, watch and listen to creative writing for pleasure, entertainment and the pursuit of knowledge.
The main kinds of literary genre that you might be familiar with are fiction, poetry, and nonfiction. But those are the biggest categories we can think of, really. For example, non-fiction can encompass everything from a memoir, to a to a biography, to an instruction manual. All are kinds of non-fiction writing – the only thing that ties them together is that they’re not made up. The same is true for fiction and poetry, too, and when we read poetry or prose fiction, we, as the audience, have some expectations as to what should be included. That is, when we read fiction, we expect the narrative to be made up, and when we read poetry, we expect that the each line of a poem match with other lines in a particular way, or it rhyme in the manner of a sonnet, or break rules of punctuation, or simply take us through a lot of figurative language in a very short amount of time.
