A general dictionary defines non-fiction as writing about real events and facts. When you read nonfiction, you're reading about something that really happened and not a story that somebody made up. This type of writing requires facts and research checking. Writing a non-fiction book can be a wonderful experience as it will show you as an expert in some subject. This article will give you a bunch of tips on how to write a non-fiction book.
What to write? There are plenty of subjects on which non-fiction books can be written, but that does not mean you can write on any subject under the sun. To write non-fiction must have some knowledge and clarity about what you are writing. So, choose your subject or topic carefully. Also, think whether you can really write 100 to 200 pages on the topic you choose because many topics are only suitable for long articles and not full-length books. Many topics cannot be stretched beyond a few pages or a couple of dozen pages.
Also, visit bookstores to see what kind of new books are getting published and what genres are popular. Talk to booksellers to get ideas and suggestions for what readers ask for. What is the latest fad? What genres of books are selling like hotcakes? What subjects do readers find interesting? Then explore writing books on those subjects.
For example, some of the popular types of books that help people are, motivational, self-help, inspirational, memoirs, history, cookbooks, biographies, how-to books, textbooks, true stories, scientific books, reference guides, travel guides, manuals, religion, philosophy, spirituality, politics, etc. Such books can be read again and again. You can also write books from your own experience or profession. For example, if you have worked in the chemical industry for many years, then you would have gained enormous knowledge that you can pass on to newcomers with your book.
