	Biography - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Biography (from the Greek words bios meaning life, and graphein meaning write) is a genre of literature and other forms of media like film, based on the written accounts of individual lives.
		While a biography may focus on a subject of fiction or non-fiction, the term is usually in reference to non-fiction.
		One significant example of biography from this period which does not exactly fit into that mold is the life of Charlemagne as written by his courtier Einhard.

	[No title]
		The Pulitzer Prize is an annual award given only to Americans (with one exception) in each of several categories, most involving journalism.
		This prize is also awarded in five "letters" categories: Biography or Autobiography, Fiction, General Non-Fiction, Poetry and a book of History about the United States (the only category in which the winner need not be an American citizen).
		The difference is made up by two endowments combined with nearly half the cost of prizes, $100,000, brought in each year by requiring approximately 2,000 hopeful award applicants to pay a $50 fee.
