A biography is a narrative of a person's life written by another person. There are usually five
main steps in writing a good biography.
1. Choose a subject. Choosing the person you want to write about is, of course, the first step.
This could be a celebrity, or someone who is lesser known. You could also write about
someone who is still alive or someone who is dead. Most importantly, choose a person who has
had an impact on other people, or whose life is interesting.
2. Get permission. Although you can still write about a person's life without his or her
permission, it is always better to get the subject's agreement. This will not only help you in
your research, but you will also avoid upsetting the person later on if he or she thinks your account is not true.
