DescriptionThe biographic drama tells the story of a real person. The subject is usually a known person of some celebrity but may also be a relatively ordinary person who enacted or who was caught up in extraordinary events. Some biographic stories are based very loosely on the life of real people, for example where authors add story elements such as a love interest or action sequences. The story might also be a 'what if' tale, based very loosely on the character.

The stories told may astonish us or otherwise evoke sympathy or other emotion. In fact we might not believe them if it were not for the biographical tag.
