This emphasizes the importance of implementing learning methods that support the creative writing process.

This research with a quantitative approach uses an experimental method with a Quasi Experimental Nonequivalent Control Group Design. The research sample was conducted using the Purposive Sampling technique, namely class VIII C as the experimental class and VIII D as the control class. Data were obtained from the results of the pretest and posttest of short story writing skills and through statistical calculations with the help of SPSS version 25. The results of the t-test showed that the significance of the experiential learning method and the EGP method were both 0.000 <0.05 so that Ha was accepted and Ho was rejected. There was an increase in the average pretest and posttest results in the experiential learning method of 16.17 points while in the EGP method it was 10.63 points.
