I've played around with this section a lot, but in the last update I focused on including books on art and storytelling here. Books focused on recipes and cooking have the Dewey of 641, although they are not all nonfiction, and there are also some simple craft books under 745. I have an older subsection of books about writing and storytelling that is designated with a subheading of STORY. I'm not willing to relabel them, but I'm not really adding to this section.
