“While in fiction the writer can use more abstract language and allow the audience to piece together the story in an imaginative way, non-fiction is presenting information, so it is objective and to the point”

How is non-fiction different than fiction?

The main difference between a literary text and a non-fiction one is that a literary text, that is, the text of a literary work, is created not only to convey information, like, for example, a scientific text. The purpose of fiction is not only to inform, but also to evoke emotions and feelings in the reader. Non-fiction texts have the same goal: the transfer of information.
