I can't find autobiography

[crafters_corner]

"I don't see any difference between a Memoir and an Autobiography....."

Neither do I - which was what I mean - but didn't state very clearly. (as usual)

Okay, I give up.
Biography it shall be

I suppose the buyer would key in the name rather than look in either category.

remeber some authors do both 'fact' and 'fiction' - well it says so on the cover (not sure sometimes which is which) ...

And how many autobiographies aren't anything of the sort, thanks to professional ghost-writers?

Oh dear, have I opened up a can of worms? I think I'll choose non-fiction > other rather than biography (I suppose I must be a pedant after all )

[crafters_corner]

I wouldn't read either anyway

No, not a pedant. Just of a different opinion - which is allowed.

Thank you Kim, I'll sleep easier in my bed tonight

.. I prefer Biography - I mean how many actually write their own...

Jordans "auto"biography springs to mind, an autobiography that's really a biography (or fiction)

[iwiw60]

Of course biography and autobiography are not the same. Do we really have to be pedants and spell out the difference?
I am tempted. But will refrain

Biography, Autobiography & Memoirs
