Creative writing is a term used to distinguish certain imaginative or different types of writing from generic writing. The lack of specificity of the term is partly intentional, designed to make the process of writing accessible to everyone (of all ages) and to ensure that non-traditional, or traditionally low-status writing (for example, writing by marginalized social groups, experimental writing, genre fiction) is not excluded from academic consideration or dismissed as trivial or insignificant. This distinction is helpful in separating the writing from more technical writing, professional writing or journalistic writing.
Thus, creative writing includes but is not limited to:
- fiction;
- drama for stage or screen;
- poetry;
- screenwriting — writing for films;
- self-exploratory writing (e.g. autobiography);
- writing that self-consciously mixes these or other genres.
