I've been asked to write a biography - what do I charge?
I am a linguist with a deep desire of writing my own biography. Recently, I was surprised when offered a job as a &#;writer&#; from this person who wants his wife&#;s biography to be written and published. Now, I don&#;t really know what I should be paid or how. I live in Australia; the couple lives in the US. All my trips will be fully paid, transport, accommodation, food. But I want to be sure I will not be working for nothing.

The expert, he believed, did not state things he knew to be untrue, but through emphasis on certain parts of his narrative practised clever and effective evasion to present his version of the truth. This is germane to assessing any work of autobiography, in pursuit of understanding the realities of an author’s life and work, and what motives propel the narrative they want us to believe.
But statistics may come into it: how much does the autobiographer want us to know; how much do they think we should know? Scale tells us something about an author’s self-estimation. Grahame Greene’s autobiography, A Sort of Life (),amounts to about 60, words, but only covers his life until he had become an established novelist. He thought, ‘An autobiography is only “a sort of life”—it may contain less errors of fact than a biography, but it is of necessity even more selective: it begins later and it en
