Course Description

Writing an autobiography involves more than reporting the facts of your life in chronological order. A good autobiography draws on the techniques of both fiction (vivid description, thinking in scenes, structuring a narrative) and non-fiction (research, analysis, making connections between an individual’s experience and the wider world) to produce a document of interest to readers. In this course we’ll look at – and practise - the elements of the process, guiding you towards constructing a personal approach to your autobiography that inspires you to write it.
