Schneider, Pat. "The Form Your Writing Takes." Writing Alone and With Others. New York: Oxford University Press, 2003.

Schneider encourages writers to not choose just one form of writing: fiction OR poetry OR any other form. But writers should be aware which genre might best suit their work. For example, if the music of the words being used seems most important, poetry might be the way to go. Works strongly autobiographical in nature might best be translated (changed) into fiction. This chapter offers several exercises to help students find their form.
