Here we attempt to make a start by examining the familiality and heritability of indicators of creative writing in a sample of 511 Russian-speaking children, and their 489 mothers and 326 fathers. The contributions of cognitive ability (fluid and crystallized intelligence) and family environment were also taken into account. Results show modest but statistically significant familiality and heritability of creative writing in this sample, even when other cognitive and environmental factors are added to the model.
