From Wikipedia:
Fictional works - novels, short stories, fables, Fairy Tales, films, comics, interactive fiction, animation, Video Games - may include or reference factual occurrences. The term is also often used synonymously with literature and more specifically fictional prose. In this sense, fiction refers only to novels or short stories and is often divided into two categories, popular fiction (e.g., Science Fiction or mystery fiction) and literary fiction (e.g., Marcel Proust or William Faulkner).
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.

Fiction refers to literature that is the product of the author's imagination, while non-fiction is based on real events, facts, or information. Fictional works are invented or created by the author, while non-fictional works are meant to inform, educate, or convey factual information.
