Creative nonfiction incorporates elements of both fiction and nonfiction. It uses literary techniques to create factual narratives. Some key elements include:
1. Plot - The sequence of events.
2. Setting and atmosphere - The time, place, and details that provide context.
3. Characters - Real people described with traits and histories.
Creative nonfiction aims to inform and engage readers using techniques like imagery, symbolism, dialogue and point of view normally seen in fiction.
