This review is from: Writing Creative Nonfiction: Fiction Techniques for Crafting Great Nonfiction (Paperback)
Although I ordered three like books at the same time, after reading, highlighting and re-reading Theodore A. Rees Cheney's book, I tossed the other two aside, unread. Cheney's book is a complete primer, replete with numerous published examples of the techniques he presents in each and every lesson/chapter. Cheney's "Writing Creative Nonfiction: - -" while steadfastly keeping the distinction between fact and fiction clearly in mind, this guide teaches how to borrow from the art of fiction writing to enhance readability while sticking to the truth. A great text book for beginners, and a valuable reminder for published writers of creative nonfiction. Leland J. Shackelton
