Some tips for good creative writing essays

Creative writing essays are not among the most common essay types. While academic writing, generally, is written to persuade, to demonstrate, to debate or even to inform, a creative writing essay is meant to express an idea in a different way. Most of the times it is closer to literature: the student writing the essay may even tell a story which tries to prove a point. The essay topics can be very different: experience, feelings, ideas… you name it, you got it!
But still, you must not forget that this essay type is still part of your academic writing, so there are some common mistakes you can’t allow yourself to make.
