Life writing is people-centered nonfiction writing. Not just
autobiographical or biographical, life writing encompasses a broad range
of personal-experience narratives. Life writing can be serious or
humorous or both. It can include any kind of subject matter because
people are always at the heart of any endeavor. Fred D. White, Ph.D.,
author of four textbooks on writing, walks the reader through the life
writing process from research to composition to revision to marketing.
