"20 Years in The Making, I'm Proud to Present The Ultimate Guide to Creating and Selling Nonfiction Books For The Marketplace!"

Please read this important message from your personal tutor, Rob Parnell:

Dear Fellow Writer,

Welcome to my latest resource - this one specifically designed to propel your nonfiction book or e-book writing career, or at least get you started on the right path.

It's my belief this topic is poorly served by most educational bodies and that this course should be seen as a sincere attempt to rectify this situation.

I believe this is important because a good grasp of nonfiction writing is actually fundamental to ALL writing.

So, what does nonfiction writing cover?

Biography, creative nonfiction, history, self-help, travel, how-to, memoir, health, diet, lifestyle, psychology, religious, political, news, scandal, internet content, copywriting, blogging, and a whole host of fact, reportage, and opinion based text.

As you can probably tell, nonfiction pretty much covers everything that is NOT fiction.

So why is this area of writing usually so badly taught?

My guess is because we mostly take it for granted.

Our education system assumes we all already know how to do it.

Plus, we all READ nonfiction constantly, probably without even being aware that's what we're doing.

Nonfiction is like the air we breathe.

ALWAYS AROUND US but hard to pin down unless we examine it closely.

And that's what this course is: a thorough examination of the genre that gives you a specific game-plan to enable you to compete in this highly lucrative market.

This may surprise you but nonfiction OUTSELLS fiction all of the time, year on year, always has, probably always will.

To prove it to yourself just put a how-to book on Amazon and watch it OUTSELL your novel by (usually) a factor of ten to one.

Plus, look at mainstream publisher guidelines.

You'll see a tepid hesitance at the idea of receiving your new fiction manuscript compared to an enthusiastic interest in whatever you might want to submit to the nonfiction department.

Even better, publishers don't even want you to write the whole MS straightaway.

You can submit them nonfiction book proposals before they commission you to write them!

Now that's wonderful.

What's in this extraordinary new course?

So much actually - it might take your breath away!

THIRTY FIVE modules - including over three hours of video content - to guide you through the genre, from idea creation to publication.

The information so far is good, the video is very choppy and is a bit distracting. The video pauses for no reason, must advance by 5 seconds to get past it. This has happened more then once.

This was a good match for me. The presentation style was relaxed with plenty of well thought through information and opinions built on experience. Easy to follow and an intellectual level above other Course Leaders that never really rose to the heights expected. Rob certainly did.

a GREAT MOTIVATOR to get you into action to actually write. Excellent and entertaining across the board for getting me started, yes for real.

Plenty of good material, but more needed on the actual planning of the content of a non-fiction book.

I enjoyed it but would maybe have liked more about writing specifically for Kindle publication. Loved Rob's style of delivery, he's very laid back but gets his message across really well (and I liked his shirts). So far, I have only written fiction but want to try to write some non-fiction soon and this course has given me a starting point. I got it on sale as well so...yeah me!

Pros: - Practical content with lots of examples delivered in a friendly conversational manner. - Humour and witty remarks. - A very efficient reframe (for me) on "niche writing." - I was able to outline my next nonfiction book following Rob's instructions while watching the videos (Thanks for that, Rob!) - Despite Rob's experience and achievements as a writer in various fields of the writing world, his focus is on transferring the knowledge to others, not bragging about "sales figures" and "passive income", which is a trait I have not observed that often in other courses... Maybe once... Suggestion: - As you did with your novel writing course, I believe more worksheets (with a pinch of self-help) would help learners take the necessary steps to come out with an outline - or even a first draft? - by the end of your course. I take notes while watching the videos but I believe other learners would prefer to watch and listen, download the worksheet, and jot down their ideas related to the specific topic explained in the lecture. Overall a great practical course focused on nonfiction writing for writers rather than product-oriented mercenaries. Thanks for the great work, Rob!
