Magazines, websites, books: There's a huge market out there for non-fiction writers. Whether you're an experienced fiction writer interested in making a jump from the world of make-believe to the real world, or you're looking to break into writing for the first time, there are plenty of things you can do to successfully write non-fiction. Here are a few tips I've been given and am happy to pass along.

  1. Choose your specialty. The old adage "write what you know" is really worth heeding in non-fiction writing. Sure, there are plenty of people who research on the fly and come up with articles about things they've just discovered themselves. But one real key to working in non-fiction is to find a niche, or if you like, several niches, and produce work within that niche.Choosing your specialty requires you to take a few personal inventories. First,in which subjects do you have professional expertise? Many trade markets are always looking for pros to contribute articles. Second, consider your personal experiences: What expertise and informationhave they given you? For instance, are you a veteranparent who could contribute to a parenting newsletter?Third, ask what topics interest you so much that you could research them for days? This is important to consider. If you've worked in business all your life, but have no real passion for it, you probably don't want to write about it. A fourth thing to consider is what your writing level is. If you're a professional writer, you may be well-equipped to handle long assignments right off the bat. If you're just getting started as a writer, you may want to brush up on your skills with a class or writing group before you put yourself out there, no matter what your expertise may be. Only you can really gauge what you want to write about and how prepared you are to write it.
