Let's just say nonfiction is a piece of expository writing based in fact with a beginning, a middle and an end.

Expository writing-writing with a purpose such as, but not limited to, explanation, definition, information, description of a subject to the extent that a reader will understand and feel something.  Please keep word count between 1,000 and 5,000 words.

Base it in fact. Have at it. Choose something to write about, learn about it and teach others. That's our definition of nonfiction. We only demand that it's well written and that it serves a purpose.
