Writing Non-fiction
Are you writing the comprehensive history of the World? Working on a treatise of the American Civil or Revolutionary War? Do you have a work in progress on the Mormon Pioneers, gardening or the archeology of ancient Central America? Or maybe you're preparing a new cookbook for publication, a self-help guide or a definitive work on model airplanes of the early 20th century. Do you have some advice for researching and writing Latter-day Saint doctrinal works? What about reserach in general? Join Janie Van Komen, Latter-day Authors contributing editor, experienced researcher, and author of numerous non-fiction works as you share thoughts and answer questions about the rich diversity, the endless possibilities and the rigors of writing non-fiction.
