author bio checklist

Keep it short! 1-2 paragraphs is sufficient.

Make sure it’s written in the third person (Ariel Curry is…) rather than the first person (I am…).

Include your current title and affiliation (the place where you work).

Highlight your relevant credentials, degrees, and certifications.

Mention relevant achievements, like boards you serve on or organizations you’ve started.

List other books you’ve written.

Don’t be afraid to list other interesting tidbits, like where you live or what pets you have - as long as you don’t take it too far!

End with your website where readers can find out more information about you. examples
