Abstract


Creative writing is a term that recurs to various educational and training possibilities through the medium of writing. For its specific realization, it resorts to resources and orientations coming from diverse knowledge and disciplines. Our proposal is to select one of these meanings of creative writing and show its relationship to rhetoric, a discipline that can contribute significant elements to the formative purposes of creative writing as we have delimited it. For this determination of meaning, we first briefly relate the story of its creation and then its purpose as a formative reality. On the basis of this objective, we broadly define the discipline of rhetoric and present its possible contributions to creative writing.
