Are you one of 10s of millions of Americans that would like to write their own book? Well, what are you waiting for? The more you procrastinate or hesitate the more likelihood someone else is going to write it first. First, however you are going to need to get a little bit of education on the topic and thus I recommend that you do a little reading, so let me recommend a very good book to you:
"Author 101 - Best Selling Nonfiction, an insider's guide to making reality sell" by Rick Frishman and Robyn Freedman Spizman; 2006.
Biographies Memoirs
Nonfiction is a huge category and much bigger than fictional works categories, especially when it comes to sales. And a new author indeed has a better chance according to these authors of making their books sell that a first time fictional writer. This book encompasses many types of nonfiction works such as: Biographies, Autobiographies, Memoirs, How to Books, Scientific, History, Art, Cooking, Travel, Picture, Exercise, Self Help and Reference Books.
Also in the "Author 101 Series" to go along with this book, I recommend "Best Selling Book Proposals; Top Secrets from Best Selling Agents" which reminds future authors and writers that there was over 195,000 books published in 2001 alone, and that was a down year. In this book they recommend that book proposals use sensory descriptions of smell, touch, taste, sight and sound.
It is my opinion that any future author really wishing to get a book deal in the nonfiction category, that they read both of these books together. I have them both on my shelves and they have done wonders for my publishing goals. Please consider this.
