Sample author biography for research paper pdf

Author bios can seem difficult. It’s impossible to narrow a person down to a few sentences. But writers also do the impossible all the time.

My experience with this is limited to Submittable. Most places ask for a bio between three to five sentences long.

Bios are simple and can have a bit of creativity involved. Most include:

• Name
• Occupation
• Credentials
• Achievements
• Personal touch

Name and occupation go together in the first line usually.

For example, Robin LeeAnn is a writer and freelance editor.

It’s also good to mention that bios are 100% in third person.

Credentials include if you have a degree or how long you’ve been writing. Some writers, if they’re writing nonfiction, will state their knowledge in that field.

This is usually said in the least amount of words. Something short and sweet. If you’re writing a bio in three sentences, this is something added to the first sentence, or I’ve seen a few leave it out.
