A memoir is autobiographical in nature, but is not as comprehensive as an autobiography. In a memoir, you will likely be focusing on a particular incident or incidents from your life, with your thoughts about how the incident came about and how you have learned from it.
A memoir requires a delicate balance of truth, memory, and literary devices to form an evocative reading experience. Your WordsRU editor will help you to keep the story from drifting, making suggestions to help you describe the important moments and events in your life with clarity and passion.
An autobiography is a highly detailed account of your life. The juxtaposing of self with other people, experiences, times, and places is at the heart of autobiographical writing. Some of the most successful autobiographies have been written by people who were completely unknown when they decided to write their story.
Although an autobiography is a comprehensive and detailed work, your WordsRU editor will help you to find the strong threads in the story of your life, and will give you advice on how to make your personal story come alive.
A biography is a written account of a series of events in the life of a person. Putting together a biography is a bit like playing detective! Readers always want to know more about other people, particularly famous and historical figures, and biographies are a wonderful way to share the detailed knowledge of your research with the world in a way that is both informative and engaging.
From the writer's point of view, it sounds relatively simple: do the research, write about it, and presto—a biography! However, capturing the events and the true spirit and character of an individual's life and times can be a daunting challenge for even the most experienced of writers. There is a fine line between a biography of dry facts and one with too much speculation, and either extreme can mean a loss of professional integrity or prospective audience. WordsRU's talented editors can help you walk that line with finesse, and bring out the vital elements of your biographical figure's life while maintaining strict historical accuracy.
