It depends on their life experience. If they’ve lived through extraordinary circumstances and come out of it in shape to write a memoir, it can be in their late 30s (e.g. The Color of Water, A Heartbreaking Work of Staggering Genius). If it’s just a person of prominence writing about their life, wait until their 60s.

I heard that “Fantasia” (http://www.fantasiabarrinoofficial.com/) , an American Idol winner(?) wrote a bio not long
after the show; so I’m sure she was early 20s.
Funny part:
She can’t read!!!
seriously.
this should be a crime.
no read
no book!
