Autobiografiction
Autobiografiction is a literary fiction genre that blends autobiography with fiction; it fictionalizes autobiographical experiences, often by altering them, attributing them to fictional characters or reinventing them into other experiences. The concept of autobiografiction was invented by Stephen Reynolds in 1906, and then researched and described in depth by Max Saunders in 2010. Reynolds' definition According to Reynolds, autobiografiction is a combination of autobiography, fiction, and essay.

Reynolds also said autobiografiction is created when n ...
