How To Write Non-Fiction: Turn Your Knowledge Into Words (Writing Craft Books)

Do you want to write a non-fiction book but don't know where to start? Or perhaps you worry that you're not â€˜the expert' or have enough authority in your niche to write a book on it?

Are you ready to help other people and change your own life with your words?

The first non-fiction book I wrote changed my life. Sure, it helped other people, but mostly it altered the course of my life â€“ so much so that 10 years later, I make a living with my writing.
