Author Bios
$345
An engaging, professional author bio, plus two rounds of development.
A professional author bio is not only essential for adding credibility to book covers and publishing submissions, they're a great tool for catching the attention of bloggers, media, and readers. If your bio reads like a dry resume, chances are the recipient will be less enthusiastic about delving into your book. Great author bios are as interesting as a feature article you’d find in a glossy magazine, capturing the essence of your personal story in a compelling and authentic manner. They speak to your target audience and offer a taste test of the reading journey to come.
I’ll send you a questionnaire designed to find the anecdotes, insights and angles I need to set you apart as an interesting storyteller. Don’t worry if you lack writing experience, or are yet to win any awards; everyone person has a voice, message and story to tell, and in most cases I have too much content to work with—as opposed to not enough.
Once I have your questionnaire responses, I’ll send you an initial rough draft for feedback. From that point, we’ll go through two additional rounds of development and polishing to ensure you love your professional author bio.
My schedule can fill up, so it’s great to contact me in advance where possible. I aim to complete the first draft of the description within 7 working days of receiving your questionnaire responses. When you submit your feedback for each draft, I’ll return an updated version to you within 48 hours.
“Cate, I cried…I sound so competent (do you write resumes too?!) I don’t know what I would change in the bio. I love it.”
