How can you write creative non-fiction? And what makes it stand out?
I am fascinated by creative non-fiction. It is a type of writing where the writer or author injects something of themself from their personal life or a little bit of creativity into the work.
In other words, it's not simply researching a topic and turning it into another dry business book.
Writing creative non-fiction can be a challenge. In addition to selecting an intriguing idea, you need to find the best way to express that idea and tell compelling stories that will captivate the reader's attention.
This week's guest is a specialist in writing creative non-fiction. Her name is Susan Scott.
Susan has written three books over her career and is a New York Times best-selling author.
