Thank you for your helpful advice on this subject. I have been told I’m an excellent writer but when the topic of a biography came up, I drew a blank. Your insight on this topic will prove invaluable as I endeavor to chronicle the life and times of a true behind-the-scenes hero. If you were to expound a little more, this article would be perfect. Everyone has an epic novel playing through their minds. Their life isn’t defined by what they do or what we see, but by what goes on in between their ears. Epic stories of tragedy and triumph, romance and revenge, honor and disgrace. There are around six billion smaller worlds walking around on our shared earth, just waiting to make their story known.

I really loved this article Stefani. It emphasises the fact that everyone has a story, & gives people some great tips on how to make biographies interesting. As you know I’m a big fan of video biographies as I think they allow the person to “live on” in more than just print & I also love the expediency of a video interview – however being a fanatical reader & writer from way back I also love a good biography (& may even write my own one day!). Each type of biography has it’s pros & cons, but I just hope everyone who reads this is inspired to at least start their biography or one of their family members’ in whatever form most inspires them. Thanks again for another great source to point people to. Cheers Louise
