Advice on how to make my author biography look good?

Sunday, July 20th, 2008

Davis T asked:

I’m a first time author, 19 years old, and am self-publishing my first book. I need an author profile (no more than 50 words long…) but am totally clueless. Usually this is where people put “teacher of creating writing at… or ‘also the author of so and so and this and that…’ but this is my first and I am unheard of. What kind of stuff can I put that would make me seem interesting, or like a good writer?

How do you do a bibliography on a webpage when there isn’t an author?

Sunday, July 20th, 2008

Jessica asked:

I know how to do a bibliography with an author, but I cannot just put the web address. My teacher considers it unacceptable and demands taht we use her format. Unfortunately, her format includes using an author. The article I am referencing is online, but no where on the site does it give an author. What can I put on my bibliography that states “No Author” but is still acceptable?

Is wanting to be an Author whats keeping me from doing well in school?

Wednesday, July 2nd, 2008

Naquila asked:

I have been so focused on wanting to better myself as an author that I never find time to do my school work, other times i’m just not motivated. I’m 15 and in 10th grade but I have only .5 credits and I believe focusing on a far fetched dream is what is preventing me from doing well.
