This may not apply to pieces about personal experiences or some self help projects but I have been googling and googling about this and I thought that I'd check here.
I'm not currently writing a non-fiction but I've toyed around with the idea. I know that some people do interviews but a lot of authors use a lot of research.
I don't understand how books can present facts without providing direct sources for each fact. How do you write a book and call it your own when you get most of the information in it from other sources? I'm thinking about historical non-fiction novels like Sea-biscuit and the Devil in the White city.
Is it really just the way that the information is provided?
