What is a Memoir A memoir is French for “memory.” It is a style of writing an autobiographical account of one’s personal life and experience. How is this different from a biography or an autobiography?

Write this down. Biography - an account of someone's life written by someone else, with complete factual details. Autobiography - an account of someone’s life written by themselves. This genre focuses on the chronology of the writer’s entire life. Memoir - What makes a memoir unique is the author must be alive and is writing it from memory. Memoirs are not a factual account of the author's life from birth to present. It focuses on a specific aspect on the author’s life.
