Individuals who develop original fiction or nonfiction for book, magazine or online publication. Fiction writers create novels, novellas or short stories that may be classified according to their genre (e.g., science fiction, mysteries, romance, westerns, children's literature) or be identified as general fiction. Nonfiction writers develop a wide variety of material including biographies, analyses, essays or magazine articles; or write in a particular field such as business, self-help/how-to, nutrition or parenting. They either propose a topic or are assigned one, often by an editor or publisher. They gather information about the topic through personal observation, library and Internet research and interviews; select the material they want to use; organize it; and use the written word to express the ideas they have developed and/or convey information they have uncovered.
