When I started out writing my author bios, I stuck to the usual stuff: my name, where I went to school, what I had published and my contact info. Then, I started reading advice on being more engaging and interesting, so I tried my hand at being both, throwing in little-known facts about myself, what makes me interesting (what does?), etc. Things like the fact that I wrote my first full-length novel at 13, even sending it to a dozen publishers and getting rejected by all of them. Or the fact that I went back to school in my early 30s to study creative writing and immerse myself for the first time into what I loved. Which leads to me the second phase of my author bio adventure. All you really need to know about me is that I write. I write because I believe that books can be enriching life experiences. They can bring people together (how tacky does that sound?), but they can also help them grow individually. I write stories focused on identity and the tough choices we make to determine our identity. Hopefully this bio gives you an idea of mine. :-)
