What Kind of Nonfiction Book Are You Writing?

You probably know there are two major types of books: fiction and nonfiction. Fiction includes a number of genres, including literary stories (the classics), poetry, drama, mystery, romance, science fiction, fantasy, horror, and more.

Nonfiction books are based on fact or on the opinions of the author. Not based on a story made up to entertain, as fiction would be, nonfiction is usually written by a subject matter expert.

Why We Don't Finish the Books We Start

Now that you have an idea of what you’ve already got and some thoughts about how to organize it, spend some time deciding exactly what you want to commit to.

Understanding the Editing Process

Whether you’ve created a book, eBook, or other informational product, and no matter how good a writer you are, you need an editor. It simply isn’t possible to read your own work and see the problems. We all read what we think we wrote, not what is actually on the page.

Some authors find it difficult to let their “perfect” manuscripts go through the editing process—it can be ego-bruising if you let it. Try looking at it through a new lens: The editing staff can take you from a good writer to a g… Continue
