Genre: A category used to classify literary works, usually by form, technique or content.

Fiction: A story that is the product of imagination rather than a document of fact…some characters and events may have happened in real life (IRL), but the story as a whole is ultimately the creation of the author.

Nonfiction: Prose writing that is not fictional; designed primarily to explain, argue, instruct, or describe rather than entertain. For the most part, its emphasis is factual.
