Non-fiction

Any text or media material that, in good faith, strives to transmit information simply about the actual world, as opposed to being anchored in imagination, is considered to be non-fiction, sometimes known as just "nonfiction." The goal of non-fiction writing is often to convey subjects in a manner that is objective and is supported by historical, scientific, and empirical evidence. On the other hand, several works of non-fiction go into more subjective area, including the author's truly held beliefs on many issues pertaining to the actual world.

Even if some of the claims made in a non-fiction book may turn out to be false in the future, an honest author strives to provide information that is correct when it is written. A non-fiction account is an exercise in authentically depicting a subject, and it should be kept apart from any implicit endorsement in order to avoid confusion.
