2. Creative Nonfiction: Overview It is a nonfiction prose which utilizes the techniques and strategies of fiction (narrative, plot, characterization, or imagery). It differs from fiction because it necessarily presents accurate information in a way that reads like fiction. The term is credited to Lee Gutkind (godfather of CNF), who simply defines it as “a true story well told”.

10. CREATIVE NONFICTION Memoir, Biography, Autobiography Presenter: Miryl Fe J. Boncales

11. Memoir (Journal/Diary) Memoir comes from the French word  mémoire , meaning memory or reminiscence. Similar to an autobiography, a memoir is the story of a person’s life written by that person. These life stories are often from diary entries either from a first-person account or from a close family member or friend with access to personal diaries. Examples of famous memoirs include: Angela’s Ashes  by Frank McCourt I Know Why the Caged Bird Sings  by Maya Angelou Personal Memoirs of Ulysses S.  Grant by Ulysses S. Grant

12. A journal is private interior writing that we do for many reasons, none of which is public consumption. Diaries tend to deal with day-to-day activities, more data collection really, and journals with bigger picture reflection/aspiration and can be used to explore broader themes.

13. Biography A biography, also called a bio, is a non-fiction piece of work giving an objective account of a person’s life. The main difference between a biography vs. an autobiography is that the author of a biography is not the subject. A biography could be someone still living today, or it could be the subject of a person who lived years ago.

14. The goal of a biography is to take the reader through the life story of the person, including their childhood into adolescence and teenage years, and then their early adult life into the rest of their years.  Examples of famous biographies include: His Excellency: George Washington  by Joseph J. Ellis Einstein: The Life and Times  by Ronald William Clark Princess Diana – A Biography of The Princess of Wales  by Drew L. Crichton

15. Autobiography An autobiography is the story of a person’s life written by that person. Because the author is also the main character of the story, autobiographies are written in the first person.  The purpose of an autobiography is to portray the life experiences and achievements of the author. Examples of famous autobiographies include: The Story of My Life  by Helen Keller The Diary of a Young Girl  by Anne Frank Losing My Virginity  by Richard Branson
