There are many different types of writing—journalism, novels, short stories, nonfiction, blog posts, graphic novels, and a hundred others.

As writers, we love to tell stories. Whether you’re writing fiction or nonfiction, stories are a critical part of how we share information and help others engage in the human experience.
