KB Authors NONFICTION genre thread

[*DrDln* (dr.s.dhillon)]

Welcome all the new nonfiction authors. I am sure there are lot more nonfiction hiding somewhere. Wish you all the very best.

It seems that there aren't as many nonfiction as fiction books on this site and I suppose that makes sense but how's a "parenting" author to best use this site for promotion? I mean there are certainly lots of parents out there and couldn't any use a little help? 
My book is Raising Amazing Children (...While Having a Life of Your Own).
Who wouldn't want that?

Hi. I am a very new nonfiction author. It is so nice to see fellow nonfiction writers here. Mine is a small niche, but I am hoping to meet other nature and dolphin lovers!

Greetings to all.

I checked out this thread since one of mine is nonfiction (the green one) and I checked out Deborah Carroll's book since I have four kids.  I hope you don't mind me saying that I think your book might benefit from a table of contents or other sort of breakdown at the start.  I read the sample and while it was well thought out and fairly enjoyable, I didn't feel compelled to keep reading (ie buy the book) because you had brought up and covered a few points in the introduction without saying what else the book might have to offer.  There was no hook.  Please understand this advice is kindly meant in case I haven't said it well.  And it might just be me so feel free to ignore.

Good morning everyone!  Nice to see this thread and I have nonfiction to add:

A Physician's Plight: a Memoir:  Professional success...Personal disaster.
http://h2z9rx

I always like to share the reason why I wrote this memoir.  Here is the Author's Note from the beginning of the book:

The purpose of this book was twofold. For young adults, I hope they contemplate marriage more seriously than I did. Life is about choices, making unwise ones can be devastating.

For anyone considering divorce, U.S. legal settlements, custody and aftermath proceedings do not necessarily abide by any consistent set of rules, particularly if they are about justice. Perhaps books like this can foster future discussions about the vagaries of family court.

In any case, this is a compelling story and it's certainly not just for physician's - the basics of what occurred can happen to anyone!

Hi Guys,

My books are non-fiction too!  Not too many of us here, I guess. 

I'm coming out with a series on food this year - I already have a bunch of different ideas for books on that so I just have to buckle down, pick one and start writing.

Nice meeting you all!

I like your cover. It's different, and seems to fit the content. Good for you.

At last Non-fiction thread...

my first book -



We all know that in order to be a successful investor, we should buy low and sell high. In other words, we should pay a low price for our investment and sell it for a higher price. So why do many of us do exactly the opposite? Why do we buy high and sell low?

Welcome, and good luck on your first book, Amir . . . .

Hi guys,
I have just published my first non-fiction book (after learning a lot about the indie publishing game with my four novels). So I'm glad to find this thread. How does the non-fiction market compare to the fiction market? I publish my fiction and non-fiction under different names - anyone else do that? It seemed like a good idea to keep the two separate but it does mean I am less likely to get any cross promotion. My non-fiction book is called Voyages with a Merchant Prince: Secrets of the Ripley Diary. It is the life story of Thomas Ripley, a fabulously wealthy Liverpool merchant, who made a fortune in the tea trade. His young wife Julia went with him on his voyages and kept a diary... the full text is in the book.
