on Written Word Media:

Writing an author bio isn’t something that most writers think about before they finish their first book. But as soon as the publishing and promoting starts, it becomes instantly clear that your bio needs to be anywhere your book exists.

From your author page on retailers like Amazon, to your social media profiles like Facebook, your bio gets plenty of use.

Why writing a great author bio matters

Like we said above, your author bio accompanies your book across the web (and print). Your bio may not be the primary reason that someone buys your book, but it could be the thing to tip them over the edge when deciding whether to buy or not.
