I’ve read Quiet, too! I wasn’t sure if it was considered creative nonfiction because of the research and interviews it included – but now I see I’ve read more creative nonfiction than I first thought. 🙂

Hi Sara! Glad you liked the post. I love Big Magic as well! Such a great read. I agree that it also qualifies as creative nonfiction. Another new favorite of mine is Quiet: The Power of Introverts in a World That Can’t Stop Talking by Susan Cain. Although it’s a bit of a different style than the ones you mentioned, it also fits into this genre umbrella.

Thanks for stopping by!

I try to read some nonfiction now and then, and I think two of my favorites (Elizabeth Gilbert’s Big Magic, Anne Morrow Lindbergh’s Gift from the Sea) would qualify as creative nonfiction. Both offer advice as well as examples from each author’s life, and the prose in each book is fluid, breathtaking, and unique to the author’s voice.

Looking forward to reading more of your posts in the future! 🙂
