The main difference between fiction and non-fiction is that fiction is an outcome of imagination, whereas non-fiction is wholly based on facts and reality. Let’s dive deep into the two genres to understand them better.
FICTION
- It is made up! It’s not objective or factual. The stories are invented out of imagination
- Fiction books are novels, short stories, and poems.
- Some of the popular sub-genres under fiction are – Romance, Science Fiction, Fantasy, Thriller, Speculative Fiction, Young Adult, Horror, Crime, Historical Fiction, Magic, and Realism
- That includes the infamous; Harry Potter or Game of Thrones
Many people believe in such myths and legends – they think that such stories are real, but they are still categorized as fiction. Now let’s dive deep into the non-fiction genre.
NON-FICTION
- It is factual and accurate. It’s straightforward and direct.
- Non-fiction books are biographies, memoirs, historical books, self-help books, collections of essays, and academic texts.
- It includes caution and expertise.
- When writing non-fiction, there is no room for ambiguity or vagueness. It has to be one hundred percent factful and accurate.
- There should be no space for imagination or invention. Hence, the references.
