An autobiography follows the order of a life, so accuracy and organisation matter. Your writer builds a timeline with you from interviews, then fills it in from letters, photographs, certificates, diaries and conversations with relatives where you want them involved.
Chronology does not have to mean dull. Each period of your life is shaped into chapters with scenes and reflection, so the book reads as a story while staying faithful to the record.
