Nonfiction


A nonfiction piece of writing is one that is based on facts and reality rather than imagination. Biographies, history books, scientific texts, and news articles are examples. It is common for nonfiction books to educate, inform, or persuade their readers.

A content area is a specific topic or area of study. Writing about nonfiction involves exploring or discussing a specific topic or subject matter called a content area. 

Language and complexity should be considered when writing for different age groups. For children, writing should be simple and easy to understand, whereas for young adults, writing should be more sophisticated but still accessible. But complexity and nuance can be present in writing for adults. 

Any author writing nonfiction for a young audience should ensure the information is accurate and current. Writing good nonfiction requires clarity, conciseness, and engagement, as well as a clear purpose or audience in mind. Providing information in a way that is relevant and meaningful to the reader is also important.
