Can you make money with a fiction/non-fiction hybrid?

I basically want to take lessons I would teach in non-fiction books and turn each lesson into a short story.

Would this class as fiction?

Ta!

    Yes.

    You *might* also be able to fit it in under a non-fiction category, since the stories are fictional but the lessons are real. Or something like that.

    Dan's content is irregularly read by handfuls of people. Join the elite few by reading his blog: dcrBlogs.com, following him on Twitter: dcrTweets.com or reading his fiction: dcrWrites.com but NOT by Clicking Here!

    Dan also writes content for hire, but you can't afford him anyway.

      Jamie, it can be done. Check out Ken Blanchard's "One Minute Manager" series, or Eli Goldratt's "The Goal" and its sequels.

      Both are fiction, but sell under the category of business books (non-fiction).

    I seem to remember something like that by Og Mandino as well.
