I’ve been writing fiction for some years now, but there is a non-fiction project I’d wanted to start for a while but I keep postponing it. It’s mostly related to my life experiences and I think letting them out would be cathartic and writing a guide that may help other people with the same struggles feels the best way to do it.
For those of you that write non-fiction, what tips can you give? Which books or videos helped you transition from fiction to non-fiction?
I already have some of the chapters planned, I’m afraid of the overall “interconnectivity”, don’t want them to feel completely independent even if you could read them in whatever order you want.
An introduction should be needed too, so readers can know what they are getting into and, as you say, better to wait until most of the book is written.
But I’ll follow your method, it’s like a non -fiction version of the snowflake method that I’ve used sometimes to write fiction!
Thank younfor your tips!
