Auto/Biography Study Group
Background
The aim of the group is to bring together persons interested in analytical examination of the various kinds of biography and autobiography, the relationship between the differing genres of representing lives, and the interrelations between biography, autobiography text and lives. The membership currently stands at 101.
Auto/Biography Publishing Developments
From 2008, the Auto/Biography Study Group will be publishing an annual Auto/Biography Yearbook. This will be a high quality hardback of 75K words containing some of the best articles in the area of auto/biography produced the previous year. The Auto/Biography Yearbook will be edited by Andrew Sparkes. All submissions will be peer reviewed. Articles for consideration for the Yearbook should be sent to Professor Andrew Sparkes, Liverpool John Moores University, Faculty of Education, Community & Leisure, IM Marsh Campus, Barkhill Road, Aigburth, Liverpool L17 6BD.
