Agent Kristen Knows http://www.dropsofblood.com/2007/06/17/autobiography-or-memoir-agent-kristen-knows/ http://www.dropsofblood.com/2007/06/17/autobiography-or-memoir-agent-kristen-knows/#comments Sun, 17 Jun 2007 10:15:34 +0000 Carolyn Bahm http://www.dropsofblood.com/2007/06/17/autobiography-or-memoir-agent-kristen-knows/ Agent Kristen at the Pub Rants blog dishes up another useful tidbit, defining the difference between autobiography and memoir.
