1. Non-fiction

   Nonfiction, or non-fiction, is any document or media content that attempts, in good faith, to convey information about the real world, rather than being grounded in imagination. Nonfiction typically aims to present topics objectively based on historical, scientific, and empirical information. However, some nonfiction ranges into more subjective territory, including sincerely held opinions on real-world topics.Common examples of nonfiction genres include diaries, biographies, news stories, documentary films, textbooks, travel books, recipes, and scientific journals. Nonfiction is a fundamental approach to narrative (storytelling), and often refers specifically to prose writing—in contrast to narrative fiction, which is largely populated by imaginary characters and events (although some remain ambiguous regarding their basis in reality).While specific claims in a nonfiction work may prove inaccurate, the sincere author aims to be truthful at the time of composition. A nonfiction account is an exercise in accurately representing a topic, and remains distinct from any implied endorsement.

1. Non-fiction

   Non-fiction is the form of any narrative, account, or other communicative work whose assertions and descriptions are understood to be factual. This presentation may be accurate or not—that is, it can give either a true or a false account of the subject in question—however, it is generally assumed that authors of such accounts believe them to be truthful at the time of their composition or, at least, pose them to their audience as historically or empirically true. Note that reporting the beliefs of others in a non-fiction format is not necessarily an endorsement of the ultimate veracity of those beliefs, it is simply saying it is true that people believe them. Non-fiction can also be written about fiction, giving information about these other works. Non-fiction is one of the two main divisions in writing, particularly used in libraries, the other form being fiction. However, non-fiction need not be written text necessarily, since pictures and film can also purport to present a factual account of a subject.
