Your author page helps readers find out who you are, why you write, your personal perspectives, what you care about, what your plans are for future writing, and anything else you care to share.

If any of your writings or manuscripts includes an author biography, you can paste the content here.

Any experiences that influenced your writing may be of great interest to readers. You can include the authors and books you enjoy reading, and what influence those authors and books have had on your writing style.

It is often suggested that author biographies be written in the third person.

Be sure to include any previously published works. If you don?t have any, it is suggested that you don?t mention published works at all.

It is recommended that your author biography is no longer than four short paragraphs in length. For a visual example, you can view the biographies on the jacket of most books as a reference.

Some things you may want to include in your biography are:

• Personal background, family life, where you were born
• Any formal recognition or awards you have earned
• What inspired you to write?
• Who are your favorite writers?
• What are you working on currently, or what is your next project?
• Appearances in the media
