Workshop: Writing Nonfiction - Research & Outlining

​In this series, we'll write a non-fiction book together, inspired by one of Marie Anderson’s published Amazon titles, The Vault of Book Topics: A repertoire of non-fiction ideas for Self-Help Enthusiasts—looking closely at how she structures chapters, uses anecdotes, and delivers clear takeaways for readers.

​You’ll learn how to research your topic effectively, identify a clear angle, and organize your findings into a strong, logical nonfiction outline. We’ll move from raw notes and scattered ideas to a structured chapter framework that makes sense to both you and your future readers.

​You’ll also see how to bring Sudowrite into the process—using it for full-topic research, idea expansion, and outline development—so the AI supports your thinking without taking it over.

​By the end of Day One, you’ll have:

• ​A clear focus and angle for your nonfiction book

• ​A complete, reader-friendly outline

• ​A repeatable research-to-outline process you can use again
