An author’s biography is a valuable tool that helps to build the foundation for your brand. When you go to Amazon to purchase a book, you will see the author’s name highlighted below the book’s cover.
Click on the name of the Author and the Author’s page will open. On the left side of the screen, under the picture is the biography.
#Tips for Writing Your Biography
Give your reader something that can distinguish you from others. Keep it short and to the point. The reader is not looking for your life story. Shoot for 250 words or less. Anything more than that and you may lose the reader’s interest. You can add the link to your website if you have a longer biography posted there.

Your biography grows as you grow. Update it with each new work you produce, award you win, or any other accomplishments you achieve. Become the authority in your field of interest and set the stage for the way you want your readers to perceive your brand.
Look at some of your favorite authors’ biographies and write down what they have in common. Use your findings to plan your own Author Biography. Check out my biography on Amazon. Let me know what you think. Constant feedback and criticism (good & bad) are ways for an author to enhance their skills.
