This study analyzed the experiences of autobiography production for the elderly, focusing on the voice of the autobiography writer. Specifically, by interviewing four writers belonging to a social enterprise specializing in autobiography production, the difficulties experienced during the interview and writing stages of autobiography production were identified, and the value of the autobiography production process according to the writer were explored. At the interview stage, the writer explores and shares the information necessary for autobiography production with the author through questions and answers. The writer faces the author’s “short words” and “long words” in the interview, which hinders obtaining sufficient information for autobiography. Further, in this process, the writer confirms the value of the healing and self-understanding of the interview. Conversely, at the writing stage, the writer produces an autobiography based on the author’s life, which was grasped through interviews. In writing, it is difficult for writers to represent the author’s “truth” as the author's “voice”. The writer attempts to reproduce the author’s voice by “writing dryly, avoiding lies” or “recording all the words faithfully”. In this process, the writer confirms the value of recognition and communication in writing. Finally, this study suggests four implications for the status of the autobiographic genre, identity of the autobiography writer, procedural knowledge for autobiography production, and application of autobiography production.
