AnagramsFrom Wiktionary under the GNU Free Documentation License. A biography is a description or account of someone's life and the times, which is usually published in the form of a book or an essay, or in some other form, such as a film. An autobiography (auto meaning "self," giving "self-biography") is a biography of a person's life written or told by that same person. A biography is more than a list of impersonal facts (education, work, relationships, and death), it also portrays the subject's experience of those events. Unlike a profile or curriculum vitae (résumé), a biography presents the subject's story, highlighting various aspects of his or her life, including intimate details of experiences, and may include an analysis of the subject's personality. A work is biographical if it covers all of a person's life. As such, biographical works are usually non-fiction, but fiction can also be used to portray a person's life. One in-depth form of biographical coverage is called legacy writing. Together, all biographical works form the genre known as biography, in literature, film, and other forms of media.

A biography tells the story of a life, starting with birth and ending with death or the present situation. If you write in first person, it becomes a fictional memoir as the person doing the telling cannot give a first person account if his/her birth or death. Instead the focus would be on a specific time period. Google his name. There is a great deal of information available on the Internet as well as in print.
