Let’s be honest, it can be hard to write the “bio” or “about” section for your website or book jacket. Either you feel like you don’t have enough brilliant accomplishments, or you do have accomplishments, but writing them all down feels like bragging. Still, you need to connect with your audience. You need to sell your writing, be invited to speak, and get your name out there.

In this workshop, Katharine will walk you through examples of great and not-so-great bios. We’ll discuss what you must include, what’s extraneous, and how to write a bio that’s a specific match to an event or piece of work. You’ll leave with at least two solid drafts of your own bio as well as concrete tips for writing more.
