Send us a text

"Welcome back to The Legacy Project Podcast, the show where we explore the art of storytelling and the power of sharing your unique life experiences to leave a lasting legacy. I’m your host, Don Fessenden, and today, we’re addressing a question that often comes up when people begin writing their stories: What’s the difference between a memoir and an autobiography?

At first glance, these terms might seem interchangeable. After all, both involve writing about your life. But the truth is, memoir and autobiography are distinct forms of storytelling, each with its own purpose, style, and approach. Understanding the difference can help you decide which one best suits your story and your goals as a storyteller.

In this episode, we’ll break down the key distinctions between memoir and autobiography, explore the strengths of each, and help you determine the best approach for your storytelling journey."
