9 Essential Genres of Nonfiction Books
Here are some of the most prominent types of nonfiction
genres.
1.
History. Historical nonfiction consists of true
accounts of historical eras and events. Some histories
dwell purely in objective facts, and other histories are
refracted through the lens of the author’s personal
beliefs. In either case, history books must present true
stories in order to qualify as nonfiction. Famous writers
of history include David Halberstam and Doris Kearns
Goodwin.
2. Biographies, autobiographies, and memoirs.
This subset of nonfiction focuses on the life story of
a particular subject. Biographies are written in the
third person about someone other than the author.
Autobiographies and memoirs are written by the
subject themselves. While autobiographies and
memoirs are, by necessity, written by someone who is
currently alive at the time of the writing, biographies
may profile subjects both living and dead.
3. Travel guides and travelogues.
Travelogues are a close cousin of
memoirs, and they recount an author’s
specific experience traveling somewhere.
Travel guides tend to be more instructive,
offering suggestions and practical
information for travelers bound for a
particular destination.
4. Academic texts.
Academic texts are designed to instruct readers
on a particular topic. Most Americans first
encounter academic books in the form of assigned
school textbooks that form the basis for a yearlong
class. Academic texts are also used by adults
wishing to learn a particular trade, such as car
repair or music arranging.
.
5. Philosophy and insight.
These books are a close cousin of academic texts,
and many are published by university-affiliated
publishing houses. This genre runs the gamut from
traditional philosophy (Plato, Aristotle, Descartes) to
scientific theories (Newton, Watson & Crick) to analysis
of scientific or cultural phenomena.
6. Journalism.
Journalism is a broad sub genre of nonfiction and one that
encompasses many media. Journalism is most regularly consumed
in the form of newspapers and magazines, along with monthly
journals, TV news reports, and more. Journalism reports on true
events that typically, but not always, have relevance to a
contemporary audience. Journalism can also take the form of
books. This includes narrative nonfiction and true crime books.
Some of these books, like Losing Earth by Nathaniel Rich and
Memphis Rent Party by Robert Gordon straddle the line between
journalism and history. The best journalism can receive acclaims
like the Pulitzer Prize and the Peabody and Polk awards.
7. Self-help and instruction
Self-help books are some of the best-selling
books in the world of nonfiction. Many of these
books concern business success, buoying
confidence, staying organized, relationship advice,
dieting, and financial management.
8. Guides and how-to manuals
Related to the self-help subgenre, but more
focused on specific skills is the subgenre of
guides and how-to manuals. These include
cookbooks, musical notations, athletic
instructions, and tutorials for home hobbyists.
9. Humor and commentary
These subgenres are forms of creative nonfiction,
where analysis and reflection on real-world events are
distilled through the prism of an author’s point of view.
Sometimes that point of view can be humorous,
sometimes it’s political, and sometimes it’s purely
meditative. What prevents this subcategory from being
fiction is that it is rooted in objective events, both present
and historical.
