But writing a book can mean anything you want it to\u2014it\u2019s not just for novels. There\u2019s the old saying that we should write what we know, and you may know more than you think.<\/p>\n Unless you\u2019re a born novelist, try your hand at non-fiction first. Not only do you get to start from a place of passion and familiarity, but you also have the market on your side. It\u2019s easier to write, sell, and promote. Non-fiction has a bigger market for both traditionally published books and self-published books. More publishers publish non-fiction than fiction, more book buyers purchase non-fiction books, and it\u2019s easier to build a career out of it by writing articles, giving seminars, and selling related products. Non-fiction writers have it a bit easier than novelists.<\/p>\n To get you started, here\u2019s a list of 50 book ideas, including possible titles, prompts, genres, and topics where you might find your next book.<\/p>\n [\/et_pb_text][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][et_pb_row _builder_version=”4.16″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}”][et_pb_column type=”4_4″ _builder_version=”4.16″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}”][et_pb_image src=”http:\/\/evue.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/03\/dreamstime_s_89990268.jpg” title_text=”dreamstime_s_89990268″ _builder_version=”4.16″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}”][\/et_pb_image][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][et_pb_row _builder_version=”4.16″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}”][et_pb_column type=”4_4″ _builder_version=”4.16″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}”][et_pb_text _builder_version=”4.16″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}”]<\/p>\n Your everyday life is a goldmine of material for your creative work.

“50 Book Ideas for Writing a Book You Can Start Today<\/strong><\/a><\/h1>\n
Ask yourself questions<\/strong><\/h2>\n
\n
\nTelling your story about where you struggle can help other people feel less alone. Think about goals and obstacles in your personal, professional, or creative life and how you approached them.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n
\nShare whatever you\u2019re working on and however you\u2019re learning it\u2014whether it\u2019s about relationships, health practices, work efficiencies, or athletic competition, other people might benefit.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n
\nAre you going through a big transition? Is there a weekly routine or yearly celebration that means something to you? Don\u2019t overlook these things. Sometimes what has the most universal meaning is actually the most particular and personal.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<\/h2>\n
Look around you<\/strong><\/h2>\n
\n
\nWho in your family has a story that needs to be told? How did your family (and you!) come to be how you are? A\u00a0family history book <\/strong><\/a>is the perfect way to tell your story.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n
\nWhat are the stories of how your town came to be? Highlight the famous people that put your town on the map, or include fun facts about local landmarks and insider tips for places you love.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n
\nWhat were the key factors in your personal Origin Story? Reflect on the events and relationships that made you who you are today.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n
\nHave you done any volunteer work that deepened your understanding or perspective? Do you have stories of how your organization changed lives and made a difference? Get the word out!<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n
\nMaybe you\u2019ve been to over 30 Pearl Jam concerts, and you have the set list and a memory for each one of them. Maybe you hosted a speakers\u2019 series at your school. Maybe you attended a rally and the conversations inspired you.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n
\nPut together a\u00a0travel book <\/strong><\/a>filled with your writing and discoveries made while visiting distant lands, then combine them with your photographs.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<\/h2>\n
Become your own storyteller<\/strong><\/h2>\n
\n
\nDo something for 30, 60, 90 days and document your experience.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n
\nWhat are your favorite books, albums, songs, films, or paintings? Use each of these as story starter ideas to craft a creative and relatable memoir.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n
\nHow did you set this goal? What led up to your achievements, and who helped you along the way?<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n
\nWhat did you learn? How can you help other people deal with fear, failure, or recovery and be resilient?<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n
\nRaising $5,000 for cancer research, tackling a big life obstacle, summiting a peak, visiting all 50 states\u2014if you have an eye on writing a book, you\u2019ll do these things differently and keep careful records. Wanting a story to tell might also inspire some pretty incredible adventures.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<\/h2>\n
Pick a non-fiction genre to get started<\/strong><\/h2>\n
\n
\nThese kinds of stories focus on a new concept, tool, or learning that will change how people love, work, and live. Teach other people one big thing you know.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n
\nThe lists you keep for yourself\u2014like a gratitude list or a list of local restaurants\u2014can inspire and inform someone else. Take one of your lists and make it into a creative book!<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n
\nPair your most impressive photographs with interesting captions or stories of the local geography, history, flora, and fauna.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n
\nIf you have been part of an enlightening correspondence (and the other party involved is willing to share their story too), document your dialogue in a book.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n
\nCompile interviews with inspiring individuals in your life, community, or professional field. Organize the book around a particular theme, or turn the conversations into a series of essays that change the way people think.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<\/h2>\n
Consider content you have already written<\/strong><\/h2>\n
\n
\nIf you\u2019ve already taken the time to compose daily or weekly articles, you\u2019re well on your way! Look for a common thread or topic running throughout, organize your posts into chapters or sections, and take your stories to the next level\u2014in print.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n
\nThe art of snail mail doesn\u2019t have to be lost forever. Make a fun, quirky, or insightful coffee table book of postcards you\u2019ve received or ones you\u2019ve collected.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n
\nMaking love letters public is not for everyone\u2014but if you and your beloved agree to the project, you just might find yourself with a one-of-a-kind collaboration featuring poems, stories, and reflections. You can also get creative and write a series of fictional love letters to people, places, objects, or events you adore.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n
\nThe unique journal pages of artists, writers, photographers, travelers, and introspective individuals are a fascinating genre all their own. Sharing your personal reflections can inspire readers of all kinds.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n
\nDo your friends and families love gathering around your table to taste your culinary creations? Are you a foodie inspired by certain ingredients, dietary trends, family traditions, local or international cuisine? Share your favorite recipes.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<\/h2>\n
Look to the non-fiction bestseller categories from Amazon<\/strong><\/h2>\n
<\/h2>\n
<\/h2>\n
<\/h2>\n

\nDo you have a history of finding love in all the right (or wrong) places? Do tell.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n
\nChances are, there\u2019s at least one person in your family with a unique, inspiring, or powerful life story to share.
