As writers we intend to make a difference, to alter people's lives for the greater good.. .this is why we write, to have an impact on society, to put a personal stamp on history.. .Art and literature are the legacies we leave to succeeding generations. We'll be forgotten, but our books and essays, our stories and poems can survive us.. .Lee Gutkind

Creative non-fiction is such a liberating genre because it allows the non-fiction writer, whether he or she be journalist or essayist, to use all of the techniques of the fiction writer and all of the ideas, creative approaches, that fiction writers get a chance to use, but they have to use it in a true story.Lee Gutkind
