Writing non-fiction might be easiest of all writings, but it’s not always easiest to keep your readers interested.When writing non-fiction best thing to do is research, even when story is about you, research. Readers are generally well educated, and chances are, they will know when something is not quite right. As well, if you are writing a paper for a class or to educate about a certain subject, research is a must.
On other hand, be sure to not overdue it. Readers do not need to know why sky is blue and why horses aren’t used for glue anymore. Give them basic facts which relate to what you are trying to say.
Another necessity when writing non-fiction, or even fiction for that matter, is using plenty of details. Details, details, details!!! Readers love details.
Want to write about Susie’s new hairstyle? Tell us what color is, what length is and how it lays. It allows reader to visualize characters and setting better. Since this is not a movie, this is what needs to be said.
