In this episode, I respond to a piece of advice for first-time non-fiction authors I read back in August, explaining why I disagree and giving my own take. It's basically about what's better - giving the reader clear, committed answers to questions, or dealing in shades of grey. I also explain how I think this relates to fiction writing, and why it matters.
