4 Tips
to Starting a Non-Fiction Book
My experience with writing a non-fiction started from my
passion to help others overcome issues in their lives. I knew writing
non-fiction will be a challenge because there are always personal experiences
and examples included to guide the reader. In order for me to truly start on my
non-fiction journey I decided on four tips to help me.
Tip
One:
Write about something that is happening in your community especially something
people are talking about. Research this topic to see if others are reading and
or writing about it.
Tip
Two:
Find an area that you are passionate about and write about it. No one knows your
passion better than you so use it to help others.
Tip
Three: Brainstorm ideas and topics with a group of friends. Ask
your friends what they expect from non-fiction book. What message or helpful tool do they look for
when reading non-fiction? This will help you outline your book.
Tip
Four: Write in a journal daily and after a month go back to see
if any non-fiction ideas jump out at you. These ideas can come from your daily
activities or a need people you have encountered may have brought to your
attention.
These four
tips helped me in starting my book as well as my experiences and research.
These are easy tips that anyone can follow. Don’t waste any time, get started
now.
