In Fact: The Best of Creative Nonfiction

In Fact: The Best of Creative Nonfiction (edited by Lee Gutkind) gathers the best essays published in Creative Nonfiction over its first ten years of publication to create a book - part writing-manual, part prose anthology.

In Fact is 440 pages long and is published by W.W. Norton. The book was made possible by funding from the Creative Nonfiction Foundation.

Selection process

In Fact offers twenty-five stories - the twenty-five best that were published in Creative Nonfiction's first ten years of existence. Culled from the 300 pieces published in the journal themselves chosen from over 10,000 manuscripts, the stories reprinted in In Fact showcase the possibilities of the emergent genre of creative nonfiction in pieces by already famous authors, and those likely to become so.

Each author has also included a reflection on the process of composing his or her particular piece included in this anthology. These reflective pieces form a core of valuable tips and advice for those hoping to find their own writing voice.
