“We are what we repeatedly do.  Excellence then, is not an act, but a habit.”        ~~    Aristotle

Today I re-wrote my author’s bio for the umpteenth time. I have many versions of it: a short , a shorter, a short-short, a micro-mini, a long, a complete, a new, a newer-to-date, etc.

It is important to update a bio frequently and make necessary changes–add, delete, change, substitute, etc. because as writers, we are constantly sending our bios out to a vast array of people. The bio goes inside cover letters,  query letters, is sent to agents, to editors and to publishers.

I keep a separate CV as well.   And I update it often, and so should you.
