This chapter provides a background on the distinction between fiction and nonfiction, demonstrating that certain features of fiction can be applied and adaptable to nonfiction. In research-based nonfiction, where information and data dominate, readability is a challenge to achieve. The approach in nonfiction can transform a dry, data-based subject into an engaging narrative. This transformation has the potential to turn seemingly dull nonfiction into a compelling read. Numerous writers have successfully incorporated the methods, styles and elements of fiction in their nonfiction books. The boundaries between fiction and nonfiction appear to be increasingly blurred, offering advantages for both genres. Supported by illustrative cases, the chapter encourages nonfiction writers to explore options that can make their work interesting and appealing to a wider audience. The examples of successful fiction and nonfiction titles given in this chapter, which have unhesitantly borrowed elements from each other, are encouraging.
