A practice-based guide to life writing, with exercises, examples and interviews with well known biographers and autobiographers. It covers such topics as writing what you know; the borders between biography and autobiography and between these genres and fiction; using prefaces; finding a form; using memory; developing characters; using novelistic, poetic and dramatic techniques.
