Biographies: A true account of a person's life written, composed, or produced by another. Autobiographies: The biography of a person written by that person.

Fiction In this type of work, the author can make up the whole entire story. Authors can also choose to include factual information in a made-up story.

Different types of fiction Historical Fiction: The story takes the reader back to a particular time period where they learn about the everyday life of a person. Realistic Fiction: The story usually presents a problem to be examined that could be from anybody’s life. They may cover such topics as family situations, peer relationships, and cultural differences.

Science Fiction: This is a type of modern fantasy Science Fiction: This is a type of modern fantasy. It explores scientific fact and can pose ethical questions about current scientific trends and predictions. The author focuses on the adventure of exploring the unknown and the wonder of discovering new worlds and people. Mystery: There are different types of mystery stories, but usually a crime has been committed and the reader wants to try to figure out “whodunit”. There is usually a great deal of suspense in them.
