BREAKOUT NONFICTION: Your Essential Guide for Writing Blockbuster Nonfiction will show you how. You may be surprised to know that nonfiction comprises 80% of all published books. Even while so many authors concentrate their efforts on writing the Great American Novel, other authors are writing books geared toward improving lives, sharing insights, increasing knowledge, and providing solutions to problems. Because nonfiction books teach, instruct, and inspire, they’re highly valued. What does this mean to you? By writing and publishing nonfiction books, you can increase your odds of building a meaningful writing career while forging a personal path towards financial independence. Breakout nonfiction authors write informative books that deliver practical advice, provide actionable instruction, and showcase personal narratives. They routinely publish one, two, four, or more books a year, year in and year out. They tell ‘stories’ that focus on the real-life struggles of everyday people and inspire their readers towards a better way. Unlike novels, which are read for entertainment and for the emotional roller coaster of following a hero on a life-changing ride, nonfiction books improve lives. FOOLPROOF! BREAKOUT NONFICTION will take you through a step-by-step guide guaranteed to make the process of writing nonfiction books not only informative but exciting. Learn all of the following and more. · Success tips for writing breakout nonfiction · Elements of bestselling nonfiction books · Qualities that make niche nonfiction and creative nonfiction popular · Why nonfiction books should tell engaging ‘stories’ · Nonfiction trends and the bookselling marketplace · How to write your nonfiction books from beginning to end · Why nonfiction can make your writing career · The reason nonfiction books are more lucrative than novels · Why all novelists can write nonfiction but not all nonfiction authors can write novels · Why the expression ‘what’s-in-it-for-them’ is crucial for breakout success Do you want to restart your writing career?

Book Description

A jaw-dropping exploration of everything that goes wrong when we build AI systems and the movement to fix them. Today’s “machine-learning” systems, trained by data, are so effective that we’ve invited them to see and hear for us—and to make decisions on our behalf. But alarm bells are ringing. Recent years have seen an eruption of concern as the field of machine learning advances. When the systems we attempt to teach will not, in the end, do what we want or what we expect, ethical and potentially existential risks emerge. Researchers call this the alignment problem. Systems cull résumés until, years later, we discover that they have inherent gender biases. Algorithms decide bail and parole—and appear to assess Black and White defendants differently. We can no longer assume that our mortgage application, or even our medical tests, will be seen by human eyes. And as autonomous vehicles share our streets, we are increasingly putting our lives in their hands. The mathematical and computational models driving these changes range in complexity from something that can fit on a spreadsheet to a complex system that might credibly be called “artificial intelligence.” They are steadily replacing both human judgment and explicitly programmed software. In best-selling author Brian Christian’s riveting account, we meet the alignment problem’s “first-responders,” and learn their ambitious plan to solve it before our hands are completely off the wheel. In a masterful blend of history and on-the ground reporting, Christian traces the explosive growth in the field of machine learning and surveys its current, sprawling frontier. Readers encounter a discipline finding its legs amid exhilarating and sometimes terrifying progress. Whether they—and we—succeed or fail in solving the alignment problem will be a defining human story. The Alignment Problem offers an unflinching reckoning with humanity’s biases and blind spots, our own unstated assumptions and often contradictory goals. A dazzlingly interdisciplinary work, it takes a hard look not only at our technology but at our culture—and finds a story by turns harrowing and hopeful.

Book Description

This “fast-paced account” of WWI airmen who escaped Germany’s most notorious POW camp is “expertly narrated” by the New York Times bestselling author (Kirkus, starred review). During World War I, Allied soldiers might avoid death only to find themselves in the abominable conditions of Germany’s many prison camps. The most infamous was Holzminden, a land-locked Alcatraz that housed the most escape-prone officers. Its commandant was a boorish tyrant named Karl Niemeyer, who swore that none should ever leave. Desperate to break out of “Hellminden”, a group of Allied prisoners hatch an audacious escape plan that requires a risky feat of engineering as well as a bevy of disguises, forged documents, and fake walls—not to mention steely resolve and total secrecy. Once beyond the watchtowers and round-the-clock patrols, they are then faced with a 150-mile dash through enemy-occupied territory toward free Holland. Drawing on never-before-seen memoirs and letters, historian Neal Bascomb “has unearthed a remarkable piece of hidden history, and told it perfectly. The story brims with adventure, suspense, daring, and heroism” (David Grann, New York Times bestselling author of Killers of the Flower Moon).
