Contemporary Realistic Fiction

Contemporary realistic fiction are stories that are believable and set in the modern world. These works of fiction contain characters who could potentially be real people. When it comes to the story and plot of this type of fiction, the story that has been crafted, while it is made up and false, could potentially take place. The term contemporary fiction describes stories set in modern times that don’t bring in any elements of fantasy. It is technically a kind of realistic fiction, and the term "contemporary" is used specifically to distinguish it from realistic fiction with a historical setting, which is also generally common and fairly popular. Contemporary fiction is normally focused on giving people a window into some corner of everyday experience and showing them what it would be like to walk in someone else’s shoes.
