Let's Do It: Write Your Bio

Bios can be such an obstacle to sending out writing submissions, at the start! I used to agonise over it and sometimes just stop halfway through submitting a poem or story. These days, when I'm submitting writing and they ask for a bio, I... blithely browse my bio doc to pick one of the right length. That's what I want for you! So let's do it: write your bio.

What's a Let's Do It workshop?

Most of my courses and workshops are designed for breadth: they whisk you through a wide repertoire of tools and strategies, with short bursts to rapidly try them out, then take them home to use at your own pace.

The Let's Do It workshops are designed for depth: they hone in on 1–2 tools or activities, with much more time to actually do it, in the workshop. Plus time to workshop it, discuss it, and ask questions.

• One hour
• Online, live
• One week's access to the replay
• PDF handout to keep and re-use

Write Your Bio

• What will I do? Write your bio: a short paragraph about yourself, which journals and agents ask for when you send writing in.
• What will I get? Clear guidance to build your confidence, advice on what to include, and tips for editing it. At the end of the workshop, you'll have the start of your own bio doc, with 1–2 bios ready to cut and paste.
• I don’t think I’ll need a bio for a while… Honestly, if you want to send writing out in future, I’d recommend doing it now, with low stakes. Then when you do need it, it’s ready to go. (Same as I suggest for synopses.)
• Will there be a replay? Yes. If you can make it to the live, you'll also get the chance to ask questions and get help editing it.
