“Civilization began the first time an angry
person cast a word instead of a rock.”
—Sigmund Freud (1856-1939)

Unlike fiction, which is based on imagination, nonfiction writing is informative and factual, and largely based on reality although this does not mean it is necessarily balanced in the opinions offered or completely truthful in terms of what may be presented as fact. There are four primary streams of nonfiction writing:

There is an element in nonfiction writing that appeals to the novice writer because it does not involve imagination, and is largely informative and factual —and is thus considered a more straightforward proposition to master. But there is a lot more to nonfiction than simply collecting facts and figures and interviews (although this can be the case if you desire your manuscript to be ghost written). Readers expect nonfiction works to be at least as diverting and entertaining as fiction, and a biography to be just as engaging as a novel, perhaps more so if they already possess some knowledge of the subject.
