If you're a writer of any stripe, you've probably written a writer bio before. Be it in the ten minutes leading up to a publication's submission deadline, or one day while daydreaming about your future J.K. Rowling-sized riches, it's not a part of writing that is easy to avoid. Nevertheless, you've probably found that it's impossible to produce one that is totally, entirely satisfying, one that gives the editors, and, hopefully, the readers, a sense of just how all-encompassingly awesome you are. Given how short they are, the temptation can be to just keep on writing and writing them until you come upon that rarest and most sought-after of creatures: the least-worst bio. That one you submit to a magazine, or a journal, or a reading series' curators. This blog is for the other ones.
Submit your absurd/rude/childish bios—the embarrassingly honest and the hilariously untrue. alex.manley@gmail.com
Do it. For science.
