Digitization, the Fourth Industrial Revolution, and the rise of social media platforms are changing English Creative Writing and the English language itself. Any prospective writer may now become an author by sharing his or her written works on different social media sites. As a result, the definition of what constitutes Creative Writing has been rewritten. A novel or a classic was traditionally defined or interpreted in a specific way. T.S. Eliot and J.M. Coetze, for example, have written about and investigated what makes a work a classic. If we look closely at what constitutes a classic, we can see that it is a combination of talent and the emotions it generates in the reader, which finally leads to its fame. The latter, though, is a question of personal preference. Each person who reads a book has a unique relationship with it and perceives it in a unique way. In one sense, the "invisible forces" of the market end up determining what work will be elevated to the high regions of being dubbed a "classic." However, one thing is obvious from the many books on classics that we read: it clearly has an aspect of being "eternal" or "permanent." Something that endures the test of time and that people return to read, examine, and discover new meanings in. In the context of this, does the definition of classic change as the medium evolves into a digital environment, with the arrival of e-books, digital publishing, and even publishing on social media platforms? Will the "classic" definition or understanding of the term "classic" survive the test of time? Or does the medium detract from the message?
