Simply put: Creative nonfiction is true stories, well told. ... The words “creative” and “nonfiction” describe the form. The word “creative” refers to the use of literary craft, the techniques writers use to tell stories about real people and events—that's the “nonfiction” part—in a compelling, vivid, dramatic manner.
