What is a great way to start an autobiography?

There's a few options. The first being that you can start with your earliest, most significant memory. Maybe your first day of school and how it effected you later in life. Elaborate on this and connect it to present and past events. You can also start by telling about your family and a brief history of them. Another route is themes that play a major role in your life. Or you can pick a focal point and weave your story all around that and create a hub for your story. Fiddle around with some ideas and I'm sure you'll pick a great start!

How about "I was born......." in whatever year, to whichever parents into whatever background? Tell it from the start! An autobiography is the story of your life. Birth came first so what can be different and unique about that.....other than keeping it real whilst many others write a bit when they're older and cast their minds back. Let the blurb tell how you overcame insurmountable odds to become the great hero u are worthy about documenting your life about that millions will clamour to read today. Course if you're Elvis Presley, Richard Branson, Alan Sugar, Madonna, or any or MANY before them....go find and read their books and see how they started (out) and their books!

Start with the life changing moment that makes a biography possible, then go back and start at the beginning, this will keep people interested in how the whole thing came about. Good Luck

At an exciting or life changing moment. Then maybe jump back to some time before the event and show a change of yourself over a period of time...
