The Biographical Writer

The facts of a person’s life might be interpreted differently depending on who writes the biography. The person who writes the biography is called a biographer.  When the biographer is the subject, the biography is actually an autobiography.  When the biographer is someone who knew the subject personally, the biography is known as a firsthand biography.
