How to Write an Autobiography

Learning how to write an autobiography can be challenging and rewarding. Breaking it down into steps can be helpful if you don't know where to start. Here are some ideas to help you get started.

Examine Your Life
  1. Make a list of your ten best moments.
  2. Make a list of your five worst moments.

  3. Think about what moves you emotionally and write these things down.

  4. Examine your life for meaning and purpose.

  5. Look for connections between your best and worst moments. Outline any connections you find.

  6. Interview people who know you. Sometimes we need another perspective on our lives.

  7. Write Your Autobiography

  8. Write your first draft. Stay on schedule.

  9. Let your first draft sit for at least a month. This idle time lets you come back to the draft with a fresh outlook.

  10. Read the draft and revise any sections that you don't like.

  11. Let this revised draft sit for a few weeks, then read and revise it again. Repeat this step as many times as you feel necessary.

  12. Give your polished draft to a trusted reader. Listen to their comments, and make further revisions.

    Autobiography

    My name is Dima. My surname is Phesenko.I am fifteen years old. I was born on the 4 of May in small town Hadyach. My mothers name Victoria and my fathers name Serhey. I did not attend any nursery or kindergarten. I am a former pupil. I began to go to school at the age of six. It was ten years ago. I had been studying at the same school for ten years. I study at school №4 in our town. We have many subjects: history, English, biology,сhemistry, physics, economy, mathematics and many others. I liked to study at school and my impressions of it are rather pleasant. After the study termination at school I wish to arrive in any institute, but for the present I do not know in what.
    At free time I like to play computer, to read books, to watch TV and football matches.
    Also I like to go fishing in the summer.
    It is all my biography at present.
