Non-Fiction
With non-fiction, the author is writing about a factual subject. This could be in the form of an essay, documentary, history, biography or even a textbook. Regardless of the form, it is assumed that the author is writing what they believe to be true at the time.
Think of it this way. People used to commonly believe the Earth was flat. This is what they read and what they were told. Even though we now know the Earth is not flat, those works that say it is are still non-fiction. At the time they were written they were believed to be true. So, if it a book about real people, places or things, it is non-fiction.
To get their information across to the reader, a non-fiction author should be clear and concise and write to their specific audience. Understanding the subject and the audience can make for an easy to read and entertaining work of non-fiction. It takes creativity and a thorough knowledge of the subject matter to create a non-fiction book.

Fiction
Fiction is any story that contains events that are not real, ones that are imagined and invented by the author. Most comic books are fiction, as are many mysteries, romance novels and works of science fiction. The stories can be fun and playful or serious and dark. In fiction, children can rule over adults and dogs can talk.
Fiction may also contain real elements that make it believable. The story might be the author’s invention, but the location or a historical event is a real one. Overall, it is still considered fiction, even with elements that are found in reality.
There are three main elements to works of fiction. Every work of fiction has character, plot and setting. Without these elements, there could not be an effective story. Even though it is not usually considered an element of fiction, the imagination and creativity of the author is crucial to a good story. A great author can draw you completely into their story and have you believe that everything in the story is possible – and something you never want to end.
