Here’s a questionnaire to fill out for each of the central characters in your memoir. Remember, if you write about a real person, the moment you begin to put that person onto the page, he or she becomes a “character” that you must treat in the same that you’d treat a character in a short story or novel.
The more you know about your character, the more he or she will come alive on the page. If your memoir features yourself, then fill this out for your own “character” as well.
What’s your relationship to the character? Why is this character important to your memoir?
What is your character’s name? What’s the story behind your character’s name? If your character has a nickname, how did he or she get it? What’s the story behind it?
