Bob, if you’re asking specifically about this article topic rather than book marketing in general, yes, you can apply this to narrative nonfiction. If you can tell me more about the book you’re referring to, I can probably provide a more helpful answer.

Sorta meta. Their opinions carry a lot of weight.
