**It's fiction.** It's probably closest to memoir, which is basically autobiography, a type of non-fiction. But then you say: > The exact course of events in the story has never really happened in my personal life, but each piece does come from my personal life. The other characters are based on real people... If you're not certain (or if you'd really like to submit it as non-fiction), ask the publisher. It's fiction based on real life. Your goal is the story and your inspiration is reality. But you aren't trying to document the historical record. It may be thinly disguised fiction, but it's still fiction.
