Fiction refers to any type of literature that's created from the imagination and typically has a narrative. It describes
imaginary events and people. Usually, this comes in the form of books and stories. Narrative writing is one of the three
types of writing, and it's important to remember that not all narratives are fiction.
The word 'fiction' comes from the Latin word 'fictus', which means 'to form' - fiction is stories that are 'formed' and
created by a writer.
There are many types of genres within fiction including mysteries, science fiction, romance, fantasy, and crime thrillers.
