Creative Nonfiction

Creative Nonfiction is an American literary journal established in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania. Lee Gutkind started the journal in 1993, making it the first literary magazine to print high-quality nonfiction prose entirely and on a regular basis. Creative Nonfiction transitioned from a journal to a magazine style in the spring of 2010, with the inclusion of additional sections such as writer profiles and articles on the craft of writing, as well as updates on events in the literary nonfiction field.

The Best American Essays, The Best American Travel Writing in 2013, The Best Women's Travel Writing in 2013, and The Best American Nonrequired Reading have all reproduced work previously published in Creative Nonfiction. Creative Nonfiction was placed 23 on the Pushcart Prize list of nonfiction literary publications in 2014. Creative Nonfiction was a nominee for the 2014 AWP Small Press Publisher Award and a 2011 Utne Independent Press Award finalist in the "Best Writing" category.
