About Us

The Nonfiction Ninjas are a group of nonfiction authors who first met at a retreat at the Writing Barn in Austin, TX. We became fast friends and realized we have a passion for nonfiction that we want to share with you. We started this website, and some of us, as the Nonfiction Chicks, put together the NF Fest challenge.  Watch this website for more news and events, and subscribe to our blog!
