Biography Writing Guide

A biography is a detailed description of a person's life that portrays their experiences of key life events such as education, work, and relationships. It may provide analysis of the subject's personality. Biographies are written in third person and chronicle a person's life story outside of any accomplishments through facts and in a way that educates readers. They use simple past tense, temporal conjunctions to link events chronologically, focus on a single participant, and action verbs to describe what a character actively did.
