How is an autobiography, such as A White House Diary, different from a biography?
Answered by Writeacher
autobiography ... story of the author's life

biography ... story of someone else's life, not the author's

auto = "self"

When you write the story of your own life, you write an autobiography; but when you write the story of someone else's life, it's just a plain old biography.
