Crafting Your Author Bio

Learn the elements of a compelling bio.

Most literary submissions require a third-person author bio. Not sure what editors want to know about you? Can’t decide between professional and playful? Join this two-hour session to work with experienced writer, editor, and submitter Courtney Harler on your author bio. You’ll explore example bios from real-world publications, with built-in time for brainstorming and drafting. Students will leave the class with a working author bio and ideas for future revision.
