This unique organization allows students to experiment with creative techniques shared by all genres before deciding which form best suits their imagination. Chapter 7 explores development and revision and serves as a bridge between the craft chapters and the genre chapters-Creative Nonfiction, Fiction, Poetry, and Drama. Integrated readings from talented and renowned writers illustrate the chapter topics. After an introduction, the next five chapters each investigate a specific element of craft-Image, Voice, Character, Setting, and Story-from a perspective that crosses all genres.

Imaginative Writing discusses elements of craft common to all creative writing before delving into the individual genres. Written by best-selling author Janet Burroway, Imaginative Writing-an introduction to creative writing-covers all four genres: creative nonfiction, fiction, poetry, and drama.
