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!

Book Description

"I laughed. I cried. I hurled my faeces at my wife when she interrupted me." -- Gary Gorillason Animals are beautiful, noble creatures. They're also brutal, scheming, and skilled at ripping, bashing, and biting one another into tiny pieces. I'm sure we've all looked at a gorilla and wondered whether it could beat up a lion. How about a grizzly bear? Could an elephant stomp on a rabid weasel? (That one might not make the cut.) Animal Killdom asks the burning question: "What would happen if there was a Mixed Martial Animal Championship?" There's background info on the fighters' strengths (and weaknesses), real-life encounters, and more fun facts than you can shake a squirrel at. To top things off, the animal adversaries throw down in the arena, narrated (sort of reliably) by visionary first-time author and long-time underachiever Alex Cooper. You've seen the animal kingdom before, but never quite like this.
