Creative writing tutor: Looking at peoples lives - Jones Sally, Jones Amanda 2015

First things first

Let’s learn to write non-fiction.

When you write non-fiction, you may write:

· a newspaper report

· an information leaflet

· instructions

· a diary entry.

· a biography

· an autobiography

You must decide:

· Who will be my target audience?

· Who will read this writing?

· What is the purpose of my writing?

You may be writing to inform your reader. Information writing will include facts (points that are true) and opinions (points the writer considers to be right and wants you to believe.
