Semi-autobiographical has two meanings. First, an autobiographical work may have been embellished or differently altered or fictionalized.
Secondly, novels may be thinly veiled memoir, semi-autobiographica novel or work of autofiction which draw heavily on the experiences of the author's own life for its plot. Authors may opt to write a semi-autobiographical novel rather than a true autobiographical novel or memoir for a variety of reasons: to protect the privacy of their family, friends, and loved ones; to achieve emotional distance from the subject; or for artistic reasons, such as simplification of plot lines, themes, and other details.
