There are few authors who are as prolific as Neil Gaiman. His books take me to far off worlds that I long to visit. He would give my life a sense of magic and hope.
He would make those in my life vibrant and exaggerate their quirks; without being insulting. Life is taken way too seriously for my liking; so, I want an author who will have a balance of serious, humorous, and magical. Life is magic. The idea that we are here for this short period of time is magical.
I’d want someone to write my story that understood that on a granular level. If anyone could make my life seem interesting - it’d be Neil Gaiman.
When he puts pen to paper, everyone is talking about what he has written.
First- I love this prompt and the responses. Bridget - if you're available to write my biography, I would choose you. My existence must, at the very least contribute some comic relief, and I trust your sense and (sense)ability to find universal humor in the dramatic and the mundane.
In the event you are unavailable, I'd choose either Lin Manuel-Miranda or Tim Burton. Music IS my life, so it would be impossible for anyone to capture my essence in a book without a composition in mind.
I was going to choose Kerouac, but then I decided on Gregory David Roberts of Shantaram fame (a guilty pleasure of mine). He writes himself so preposterously - in any situation he's able to handle himself in a street fight, because he happened to pick up a rare form of Akido in prison, or how he acted as a medical doctor in the Bombay slums, saving people from a number of diseases (to be fair, it's been a long time since I read the book - I did watch the excellently cast Apple TV adaptation recently, though). I'd like to be written half as cool/ridiculous as Lin Ford, but failing that, I would choose the author of my biography to be Dr. Seuss (Wocket in My Pocket is a timeless classic).

Douglas Adams - it’d all be lies but it would be funny
