I am writing a book on what not to do during the homebuying process. I am using my experiences and the experiences of others. Unlike other books that tell a person what to do, this book will have detailed stories so the reader can make their own decision of what to do when purchasing a home. Bottom line is that I think people can learn more from reading about the hangups that other people faced during the process.

I'm thinking nonfiction business... but I need to be sure...

Any advice is greatly appreciated.

Thx!

I was thinking the same thing. But when I went to Barnes and Nobles, all the homebuying titles were coded as Business (subtitle real estate) according to one of the employees. An agent/friend told me that it was probably Business Memoir.

Ahh, this is so confusing.

Does it matter? Or are you thinking of what to call it in queries? In that case, I'd just call it a book about how to buy a house, or about how people buy houses.

Otherwise, it's up to the publisher to decide where to put it, or the agent to decide whom to send it to, and you don't have to worry about that. Isn't it nice to have one thing you don't have to worry about?
