Description
Many of us have wanted to write a life-story but have been unsure how to set about it or how to bring such a project to completion. Whether you are planning to write about your own family or research the life of a famous historical figure, this book will assist, advise and encourage you. The book looks at all aspets of writing biography and autobiography, including: the reasons for biographical writing; choosing your subject; identifying your audience; research methods; organizing the information; and writing up your material. There are also sections on legal issues, copyright and finding a publisher.
