A workbook by Mel Higgins · 12 pages, PDF

In the third person.

Speaker pages. Company websites. Board packets.

Your bio does its work in rooms you’re not in: read aloud by an organizer, skimmed by a committee, pasted into a website by a colleague who means well. None of those readers can ask you a follow-up question. A working bio makes one argument, so a stranger understands what your record adds up to and what to ask you about.

This workbook helps you build that argument once, then cut it to four lengths: the byline, the program bio, the page bio, and the about page.

What’s inside
  • Two lines to define what you want next and what the reader should take away.
  • The four moves — Now, Proof, Direction, Human — that carry your argument at any length.
  • The same bio at four lengths, from the 25-word byline to the full about page.
  • The craft of the third person: names, tense, the adjective audit, the jargon audit.
  • A worked before-and-after rewrite and a read-aloud final test.
