    Writing first non-fiction book

    Hello everyone,

    I'm writing my first book, which will be non-fiction. I recently became a cab driver to be able to go to school full-time. It's about being a cab driver. I'm looking for some guidance as I've never written a book before. I'm willing even to share writers credits with someone for assisting me. Can anyone help me with this project or lead me in the right direction?

    Thanks.

    Eric

    Figure out exactly what you want to write about first. Create a bare-bones plot and work from there.
