Goodreads Authors/Readers discussion

The events I write about and am putting the story together about, are all from my actual life.

I was inspired by my favorite series and franchise of all time. This would be the After series by Anna Todd. Of course in the books, the main character Hardin Scott is actually the writer of After. He wrote all about his journey once he met the love of his life, Tessa. His version of the book is not a novel to the best of my knowledge. In fact I do not believe there is a lit of dialogue, if any, in his version. This is just for the movie and the book itself of course (brilliant idea). Hardin wanted Tessa to see how much Tessa had changed his life. I guess I am wondering what kind of book you would vonsider hos version of After to be. Im fully aware that Anna Todd's actual book series are full on novels.

Quite frankly these books changed my life forever. They touched my heart and soul on such a deeper level than I could have ever known. They gave me answers to all the questions I had about my life and even my marriage. Two fictipnal characters have been my guide and have helped me through so many years of battling all the things I couldnt understand or didnt know how to fight. I dont know where I would be today without this series.


So now if my book would be a memoir or an autobiography...would I write this in first person?

An autobiography is an account of a person's entire life, but a memoir usually is only about one part of a person's life. For example, my book Crown Up is considered a autobiography because it's an account of my entire life story

Do auto biography or memoir type of books actually sell?

Why not I have a ton of them and people love them but obviously, they are mostly for leaders or celebrities. Not sure if I write my autobiography anyone would be interested in buying that at least so far :)
