I couldn't think of a better title for the thread, so my apologies there. Anyway, I am writing a book on Katherine Wright, Orville and Wilbur's sister. She really was the driving force behind their success in aviation, but I don't really want to write about that. She had this weird love triangle thing going between her, Orville, and her future husband Henry. I want to write it more like a novel than the standard biography. I know there's a term for it, but I'm a dingbat, so I can't remember it.
My question is, for non-fiction books that are written more like a narrative, do you write the whole book first and treat it like a novel when querying it? Or do you still do a proposal first and all that jazz? If this is a really stupid question, just say so, and I'll hit myself with the appropriate magnitude.
