Is there someone you’re interested in, someone who’s been on your mind awhile, for whom there’s no biography, either for yourself or for a younger reader? Why not write one yourself? Biography offers much more scope than many writers realize. But how do you do it? And where do you start?
1. Evaluate your potential subject, her appeal, and what types of readers might be interested.
Before you embark on a biography, consider these questions:
• Is enough information available to write this biography? You may need to do some preliminary research to answer this question.
• Are there other biographies of this person on the market? If so, how would yours be different?
• If you’re writing for a middle reader or young adult, is your subject appropriate for that age group? A biography of an infamous courtesan obviously would not be age-appropriate for a YA title. There may be other considerations that are less obvious.
• Does this life merit a full book?

Building Their Own Waldossets out to understand the dilemma faced by Emerson’s early biographers: how to represent a figure whose subversive individualism had been eclipsed by his celebrity, making him less a representative of his age than a caricature of it.Drawing on never-before-published letters, diaries, drafts, business records, and private documents, Habich Emerson’s First Bio

Biography
Written account of a person's life
For other uses, see Biography (disambiguation).
A biography, or simply bio, is a detailed description of a person's life. It involves more than just basic facts like education, work, relationships, and death; it portrays a person's experience of these life events. Unlike a profile or curriculum vitae (résumé), a biography presents a subject's life story, highlighting various aspects of their life, including något privat eller personligt details of experience, and may include an analysis of the subject's personality.
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. Works in diverse media, from literature to bio, form the genre known as biography.
