Nonfiction stories about the lives of interesting or important people.

Biography Definition: A biography, or simply bio, is a detailed description of a person's life, or one aspect of a person's life. It involves more than just the basic facts like education, work, relationships, and death; it portrays a person's experience of these life events.

Rules:

1. No spam. This isn't a sub for your dating profile or stories about your grandpappy. Unless of course your grandpappy was a badass.

2. No harassment or trolling. Let's keep things civil.

3. Moderators may remove posts/comments or ban users as they see fit. Their word isn't final though. If you feel your post/comment has been removed unfairly or you've been banned unfairly please contact the moderators here.

Submission Guidelines:

1. Documentaries are welcome.

2. [Text Posts] Since biographies can vary wildly we encourage you to provide multiple sources. This is not required but if a post is deemed too inaccurate it will be removed.
