Summary/Abstract: The paper analyzes Małgorzata Musierowicz’s online autobiography based on posts and comments published on her official website, www.musierowicz.com.pl, from 2014 to 2016. First, terms such as official website, blog, autobiographical pact and autobiographical practices are defined. Next, the paper analyzes how Musierowicz constructs her identity as an author, using tools typical for blogs, i.e. posts and comments. The study concludes that Musierowicz consciously uses the specificity of blog for constructing a dialogue with reader and curating her image of a hard-working, skilled author of young adult fiction. Finally, the paper points out to other questions worth considering in the context of Musierowicz’s blog, as well as blog and social media activity of other authors.
