What do you write in a biography?

It depends on the type of biography you want to write.

I’ve written three biographies, each with a different purpose: for my grandmother, an entrepreneur, and a YouTube celebrity. While each biography shared some similarities in structure such as outlining, where to begin, how to include an “aha moment,” etc., they also hinged on what the overall objective was in writing the life history.

For example:

  • My grandmother’s story was written to preserve her life in chronological order as part of some family history we were working on.
  • The entrepreneur’s story was an account of overcoming adversity. It was meant to inspire her worldwide audience and illustrate the power of personal stories.
  • The YouTuber’s story was an account of success at the near-loss of his integrity and his reasons for becoming a public figure.

Knowing a few basic steps can help you get started quickly and reduce the frustration in writing a life story.

I’ve outlined five steps to writing a biography in a blog post on Medium if you want to look that up:
