Tips on writing non-fiction? (beehaw.org)

I've been writing fiction for some years now, but there is a non-fiction project I'd wanted to start for a while but I keep postponing it. It's mostly related to my life experiences and I think letting them out would be cathartic and writing a guide that may help other people with the same struggles feels the best way to do it.

For those of you that write non-fiction, what tips can you give? Which books or videos helped you transition from fiction to non-fiction?

More like a memoir I think it might fit the "self-help" category.

And you are right, better not overthink it, start writing and then can come the structure :)

Thank you, will definitely check those articles!
