Biographies can be generally grouped into a few categories: Autobiographies—first-person accounts of a person’s life; Biographies—accounts of a person’s life written by another person, usually using historical accounts, documents, letters, speeches, etc. of the person; Memoirs—also written in first-person but usually just covering a narrow part of a person’s life story, such as their experiences during World War II; Novelized Biographies—sometimes called creative non-fiction—where the majority of the story is true and based on known facts as a biography above, but the dialogue and some aspects of the story may be imagined, simplified or combined for a smoother reading experience.
