Creative writing is a term employed to make a distinction between the different types of writing from the technical writing. It is intended to formulate the process of writing, accessible to every one and to make certain that non-traditional or traditionally low-status writing is not expelled from the academic consideration taking into account as insignificant.

For example- The writing by marginalized social groups, experimental writing and genre fiction is not lay off as unimportant or not worth mentioning. This sort of difference is beneficial in keeping apart the writing from more technical writing, professional writing or journalistic writing.

Accordingly, creative writing consists of

Writing that self-consciously combines these or the other genres.
Self-analytical writing, as in-autobiography
Screenwriting-writing for the films
Resourceful non-fiction
Play-stage show
Fiction
Verse

Trained classes in creative writing are getting progressively more and more popular, varying from one-day workshops to three- or four-year university degrees. The university program has become the most accepted and prevalent addition to the English area of study along with the prominence of English education, technical writing, communication and professional writing.

While some people still disagree that genuine talent for writing cannot be educated while many bicker on this point that it is feasible to explain the techniques which facilitate people to make the entrance and make the most of their creativity, from conquering the writer's building block and breeding the arbitrary ideas, to understanding how standard genres of writing accomplish their effects and formatting their work.

This arena has also constructed a path to teach young minds about the processes of editing and publishing such work. In fact, such distinguished authors as Michael Chabon, Kazuo Ishiguro, Decheonbae Jones, Ian McEwan, and Rose Tremain are graduates of university creative writing programs as are popular screenwriters David Benioff and Peter Farrelly.

The crystal clear description of “creative writing” entails the leeway for "creative reading." This reverse process is too relevant; it will persist to be a contentious issue in the literary sphere.
