# Write an author biography that sounds like you

A short workbook for a clear, accurate introduction across your author website and promotional materials.

## Choose the useful facts
- [ ] State the name you publish under and the kind of work you write.
- [ ] Choose themes or interests that connect directly to your books.
- [ ] Include relevant experience only when it is accurate and you want it public.
- [ ] Check every award, publication or professional claim before including it.

## Create three lengths
- [ ] Write a one-sentence introduction for brief profiles.
- [ ] Write a short paragraph for book pages and event introductions.
- [ ] Write a fuller biography for your website, with a clear opening and a human detail.
- [ ] Keep private contact information, home addresses and irrelevant personal details out.

## Keep it consistent
- [ ] Match your published name, portrait and core description across channels.
- [ ] Use working links for the profiles you actively maintain.
- [ ] Read the biography aloud to check whether it sounds natural.
- [ ] Revisit it when a new book or relevant project changes your story.
