Hey Guys
For the past 2-3 weeks I have been writing my own book that I wish to self publish. Since the time I have been writing, I have been absolutely crushing it with over 25,000 words in 11 days of work. I had a buddy of mine read some sections and said he loved the way it was written as it reminded him similar to MJ's book "The Millionaire Fastlane " in the notion that it felt like some one was talking to him and teaching him as he was reading. The more he read the more he wanted to find out more. Which is a good sign coming from a first time book writer, when your audience is liking your book, and getting some sort of value out of it as it encourages them to continue reading.
Recently, I have been at a little speed-bump with my book writing process as I have been doing some research with self-publishing vs. traditional publishing. I am pretty set on Self publishing and I have some ideas on how I am going to market and sell my book. As I was doing this, I was thinking about ways I could make my book better existing and thought wrapping a story around it would be ideal. Which comes to the idea of fiction vs. nonfiction.
Now,too back up a little here.... A massively successful book here in Canada that sold over 2 million copies, author David Chilton wrote "The Wealthy Barber". The books story is a fiction, as he is not a barber who cuts hair but rather used to be a stock broker. But yet, it's published under non-fiction...
The same could be said with Rich Dad Poor Dad book selling over 26 million copies, by Robert K. as there are allusions in the book and interviews stating the 'rich dad' does not exist. But yet its non-fiction published.
How could this be, a business book that is based around 'facts' and stories of the author are not true but are published under non-fiction? I have a feeling this does not really matter, but I am curious how this could be? Curious if some one could give some practical advice here, and tell me why this is the way it is?
