The Cambridge Introduction To Creative Writing is a comprehensive book for students and writers. The book teaches readers about the craft of creative writing, giving them a complete overview of the art. It relates creative reading and writing, teaching readers how fiction, poetry, and creative non-fiction have evolved through the years. It displays the beauty of the written form, showcasing the myriad forms of the art across disciplines and media. The book discusses writing as public art, visual art, e-literature, and as an act of community. It gives readers a holistic view of writing and helps them understand why man has continued to return to the letters time and again, to tell a story like it has never been told before: in words, in sentences, and in emotion so strong that the story itself comes alive through the act.
