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.
