The current issue of the literary journal Creative Nonfiction is actually a book, called In Fact, being published by W.W. Norton and containing highlights from the journal’s ten-year run. In a description of the volume posted on the journal’s website, “creative nonfiction” is described as both an “emergent genre” and “as old as American Letters.” The description of In Fact goes on to say that “creative nonfiction leaps genres.” (“Creative nonfiction” is described elsewhere on the site as “Dramatic, true stories using scenes, dialogue, close, detailed descriptions and other techniques usually employed by poets and fiction writers about important subjects.”) Meanwhile, The Baltimore Review announced earlier this year that it too is accepting submissions of “creative nonfiction”—for a contest in the form. According to its announcement, the prize is $250 and publication.
