Detailed explanation-1: -A memoir is a nonfiction book that tells your own story, focusing on elements of your real life like personal experience, intimacy, and emotional truth.

Detailed explanation-2: -Although a memoir is written like a novel, it is important to remember that it is not one. A memoir is true. A novel is made up. There are other general techniques, like tense and viewpoint that are handled differently in each format.

Detailed explanation-3: -While your subject might be an event or another person, a memoir also needs to be about you. If there are big gaps in your memory or if the story is not based on your memories, write a novel.

Detailed explanation-4: -Memoir is tricky because it’s the only nonfiction subject that must be treated as fiction. That means you have to write the entire manuscript (and revise it) before submitting. You would eventually write a synopsis-not a book proposal.

Detailed explanation-5: -Fictionalized memoirs are different from standard memoirs because of the inclusion of fiction or fictional writing techniques. If the names or places of a memoir are changed to protect those involved, then this would be classified as a fictionalized memoir. It’s a new term for an old genre of writing.
