Bio Inputs

How to Write a Strong Author Bio

1) Lead with genre: Readers want to know what you write immediately.

2) Add voice or authority: Fiction = tone + themes. Non-fiction = clarity + relevance.

3) Use real credibility: Awards, education, work background-only what's true.

4) Keep it human: One soft closing line makes the bio feel real without being cheesy.

5) Match the length to the platform: Short for social, standard for websites, long for press kits.

Debut authors: Get a confident bio even without a long publishing history.

Indie authors: Position your work clearly and professionally across platforms.

Traditionally published authors: Refresh your bio for new releases and profiles.

Pro-Tip

Keep two versions on hand: a short bio for social and a standard bio for your website. Update the standard bio whenever you change genres, publish a new book, or earn a new credential.
