Are you a lucky writer who’s full of ideas? Or do have one idea that’s been nagging you for weeks at the edge of your thoughts? It makes you itch to begin writing. That’s good. But first, ask yourself if this is just an idea or a book.

The seeds of any work of fiction or nonfiction are ideas. However, you need to be able to envision this idea’s beginning, middle, and end and have it fully developed otherwise it might not be enough. Many writers outline their books before they begin because of the experience of writing for pages about an idea and getting nowhere or having a pile of rejections. But if outlining isn’t your cup of tea, then at least think your idea through and make sure it can merit months of writing so you wouldn’t be frustrated in the end.

Example of Ideas for Nonfiction

Based on something you’re interested in and passionate about is your nonfiction book. This idea is what you’ll be living with for many months. To have a successful nonfiction, the key would be to take your approach and idea in a way no one has ever done before. You need to do most of your research first before you begin writing. Settling for the most easily-found information on your topic is a bad idea since it’s possible the readers have read the same information. Until you find an aspect to your subject which is unique, keep digging. Go to bookstores and libraries to make sure no one has done that yet.

For a nonfiction idea to become a book, you need enough information to fill the number of pages necessary, depending on the age group for which you plan to write. You need a foundation of basic facts with younger children and be detailed in your approach but make sure the concepts are explained in a straightforward manner such as how animals hibernate. Drawing on a broader foundation of knowledge are older readers and they infer connections between related subjects and your topic. To determine if you need more research before beginning to write or if your idea is original enough, a detailed outline of any nonfiction book would be essential.

Whether it’s fiction or nonfiction, your idea should mean something to you, but also have the potential to mean a lot to your readers. The nonessential elements should be taken away and you need to add to it and think through it as well as make sure it has an end, middle, and beginning. That way, your idea will be turned into an idea for a book.
