Diarists

A diarist is person who keeps a diary.

A diary is a record of personal experiences, observations and reflections, usually written daily; also called a journal, although journal-writing can be less frequent.

Diaries often provides information for memoirists, autobiographers or biographers but they are not generally written with the intention of being published as they stand. Many diaries of notable figures have been published and are important elements of autobiographical literature.
