Instead of adhering to the guidelines of journalism, business usage or technical writing, creative writing is more concerned with storytelling and narrative. It involves character building, introduction of themes, use of metaphor and allegory and more. Creative writing is focused on telling, not explaining.
There are a number of reasons you may want to work with a creative writer. They may be valuable partners to help you finally bring your novel,movie or TV script to fruition. Marketers may turn to creative writers to fill an existing skills gap when crafting a corporate history or executive bios that are more engaging than strictly informative. They may also help develop commercial or other media scripts.
Some creative writers have an education in literature and storytelling, while others have worked in communications, marketing, public relations or journalism, and bring the skills developed there to their creative pursuits.
When selecting someone to work with, look for experience in the type of writing you need done and a portfolio of projects showcasing their work. Make sure they are well-versed in the media and format you need and can deliver on the required schedule.
