Thanks for your comments….I’ve just re-read this article and realized that both my long and my short author bios have changed dramatically! And I’ve learned a lot in the past couple of years.

Great tips — thanks Meryl and Ben!

I’ve never really felt like I was bragging when I mentioned my writing credits, but I can totally see how writers feel that way. I think like Meryl: your author bio is a chance for you to “prove” your credentials — and to gain the confidence and respect of readers and editors.

I don’t change my bio to suit the magazine, but I should. That’s great advice, Ben.

In the early days, I used to fret about this because I don’t want to sound like I’m bragging … but I know I needed to provide proof that I had decent credentials. Your advice is right on target, Laurie. Thank you.

Fantastic advice. I’ve just written a book called, ‘Sleeping Your Way to The Top in Business – The Ultimate Guide to Attracting & Seducing More Customers.”

I find that whenever I contribute to a magazine my bio always changes, even if it is ever so slightly. I feel it’s incredibly important to aim it towards your target market, i.e. the magazines readership base.

Thanks for the article.
