How to Write a Non-Fiction Book

We are really looking forward to welcoming you to ‘How to Write a Non-Fiction Book’ with Dr Shahed Yousaf, author of Stitched Up: Stories of Life and Death from a Prison Doctor.

He will share his insights into putting truth onto the page, from how to develop an idea and shape it into a book through to navigating the research process and exploring ways to find your voice as a writer. 

Shahed will also help you consider the ethics of representing real lives, how to safeguard the people you are writing about, and how to understand what to keep off the page. Plus, he’ll talk about how to bring humour into the hard-hitting, and how to tell difficult stories with sensitivity.

Finally, Shahed will share his journey to publication, and any advice he has for writers looking to take a step in that direction, as well as the impact mentorship programmes can have on a writer’s journey.
