The main difference between an autobiography and a biography is the fact that the author of an autobiography writes about himself and his own life, while the author of a biography writes about other people's lives. However, there are other differences. Autobiographies tend to include more personal information and more reflections. On the other hand, biographies tend to contain more research and references, and are generally more focused on facts and evidence.
