Revel in your new bio writing ability

Bio writing is strictly defined content in a defined form. And yes, there is an art to it. Being informed about the nature of that content and the form itself will help. You’ll be further prepared for bio writing if you do the right research. We’ll show you how to do that in How to Write An Executive Bio. But more than the basics of preparing, our personal bio writing guide will help you approach executives with the right questions, put them in the right context, and deliver powerful results.

Hallmarks of strong personal bios are:
• a targeted focus on audience and
• communication of a core message.

As you gather information, interview, and prepare for bio writing, you’ll discover a broad range of topics from which you might draw content. From your client’s job responsibilities and prior experience, to education and family—the features of a career that create a good story may be drawn from across the board. Your bio writing process should take care to consider each feature as a rich source of content. Once you’ve done the research and you’ve identified your purpose in writing, the story coheres naturally.
