How exactly does one write their short bio to be included with all submissions of their manuscript? Obviously I could put down all the stats, birth date and place, hometown, family info, even educational and career info ... but that wold be much more like a resume than a short author bio. So I am left searching Google again for examples of what should be in one of these things and, have managed to piece together this little gem. The more I read it, the more I like it. But will it help sell my work to a publisher?
Author BIO
Shannon DuBey was born in a rural northern Michigan town and now lives in Flint, MI with her partner of nearly 15 years. She has spent most of her life writing poetry and short stories for personal use while pursuing an education and career in the computer industry. She has now developed some of those short stories into full length novels with a message. Her work is written with a primary audience of young adults in mind, but she masterfully breaks through those boundaries to produce a compelling story that will appeal to readers of all age groups and backgrounds.
