Four Main Types of Writing:
Most actual writings use a combination of the different elements. This is true whether the writing is fiction or non-fiction.
* Expository – Writing in which author’s purpose is to inform or explain the subject to the reader. (This is also called "explanation")
* Persuasive – Writing that states the opinion of the writer and attempts to influence the reader. (This is also called "argument")
* Narrative – Writing in which the author tells a story. The story could be fact or fiction. (some examples of non-fiction narrative are autobiography and biography)
* Descriptive – A type of .. writing that uses the five senses to paint a picture for the reader. This writing incorporates imagery and specific details. (this can be fiction or non-fiction, of course)
