Hi there, writerly folks. I have not visited Story Embers in ages; nevertheless, I have devised a topic to reconnect with you awesome people! I like fiction (in fact, I am writing a fictional “novella-ish” story as I speak, er, write). But I also love nonfiction, am taking a writing coarse, and have written a couple nonfiction articles on animals, namely Indiana Songbirds and Oceanic Masterminds. In other words, animal nonfiction. I particularly enjoy this genre. However, on a more specific and detailed level, I like nonfiction on songbird wildlife and aquarium ornamental goldfish and koi the best. In fact, I plan on beginning a goldfish retail store, of all kinds and varieties, in the future – but keep in mind, this is just an idea, and I will have to test this idea for reassurance that this idea rings true.

So, if you are repulsed at the idea of writing nonfiction for “fun” and instead write exclusively fiction, you can just ignore this thread. But on the other hand, if you are a nonfiction enthusiasts (and also have a liking for animals), welcome to the thread!

In this thread, I would like to discuss in detail about your experiences in writing nonfiction on animals (or not animals at all) and/or simply animals and wildlife. I would love to have a chat with any writer who shares these interests and passions, or even is just mildly interested. Thank you!
