Editors romping joyfully with unicorns through sunshine-filled meadows
Erniemenard thinks cranky_editors would be the perfect place to solicit advice for his unfinished non-fiction work. Cranky editors disagree.

My sincerest apologies for failing to read the user info page. This page is likely something nobody reads, similar to disclaimers.

Do you really believe that I feel as if I'm in hot water? I feel as I have entered the internet equivalent of a van full of geeks telling me that they are going to do things to me if I do not eliminate my favorite five option.

Flounce? Flounce? I do not flounce.

Or Richard Dawkins. Or Stephen Hawking. Or every other science author in the world.

Seriously, I am wondering how anyone can not have heard of the genre of non-fiction.

Well, but what she's specifically asking about is a story. Richard Dawkins, as entertaining as he is, isn't writing a story but instead explaining principles. Nonfiction is different from Creative Non-Fiction, which seems to be what the commenter didn't understand. I mean, I can lie about the occasional detail in Creative Non-fiction, but I sure as hell hope Dawkins can't.
