I'm fairly new on Medium and didn't know there was any controversy about creative nonfiction--which is what I write most of the time. You make a convincing case for both writing and reading the genre. I'm following you and hope you will reciprocate. Please check out the Classification: Creative Nonfiction page on my site, at https://katharinevalentino.medium.com/category-creative-nonfiction-b2e6a4853428

and let me know what you think, understand, feel about what I've published thus far.
