.Non-fiction is an account or representation of a subject which is presented as fact. This presentation may be accurate or not; that is, it can give either a true or a false account of the subject in question. However, it is generally assumed that the authors of such accounts believe them to be truthful at the time of their composition. Non-fiction is one of the two main divisions in writing, particularly used in libraries, the other being fiction. However, non-fiction need not be written text necessarily, since pictures and film can also purport to present a factual account of a subject.

it means true. But i don't believe that. How can a story be entirely true. The person writing the story can't know whta happed to the other person. If so how do they know it happened exactly the way it's told? Therefore there is no such thing as Non-fiction unless it's a documetary etc......

Non-fiction means true basically. It usually has to do with works of writing that are true, like biography's, historical papers and old essays.

It means that what you're reading is not a made up story, but the fact. It means that it is true.

A true story, not a made up fairy tale type story.
