Introduction
Writing creatively

In this chapter we are going to concentrate on creative writing.

We will explain the characteristics of the two main types of prose fiction - short stories and novels - and will illustrate these with examples.

We will then examine the techniques that fiction writers use. This will help you to apply these techniques to your own compositions.

This chapter also examines the characteristics of some of the different nonfiction categories, including biographies, travel and cookery writing.

We will finally look at composition techniques for non-fiction writing.
