![]() ![]() *I received a free ARC of this book from NetGalley in exchange for an honest review. The author talks, for instance, about the role of humor in nonfiction, and sprinkles his own humorous anecdotes throughout, but they don't seem to directly relate to the struggle a nonfiction writer might face in incorporating humor into their own writing. Because I edit nonfiction for a living and have already written four fiction books, this was a little basic for my needs.īeyond that, though, although it provides a bevy for tools for not being boring, it doesn't necessarily use those tools for itself. ![]() If you're someone who's a little farther along in your writing journey, however, it might not be as helpful. It's about understanding your readers, explaining complicated ideas, and not being boring. It's a helpful collection of tips about preparation, research, tone, and execution. If you are someone who earnestly wants to write a nonfiction book-a memoir, self-help, how-to, or any other type of book or copy-and doesn't know where to start, this book is just right for you. ![]()
