Interview With an Author: Rob Wilkins, Rob Wilkins, Los Angeles Public Library, 2023, Interview, answer on the biography.
Open the original- What it measures
- The interview page says Wilkins worked with Pratchett for more than twenty years, first as his personal assistant and later as his business manager, and that he wrote the authorized biography, Terry Pratchett: A Life With Footnotes.
- What it does not show
- The figure counts only the autobiography fragments, not the novels. It comes from the person who took the dictation, so it is first-hand but not independent.
