Author Bios 101

I have a few questions about people’s author bios. I’m just curious to see what others do.

What do you normally see in other author’s bios?

What does your author bio look like?

What do you think should be in an author’s bio?

Are you talking about the authors’ profiles on the app? :thinking:

Random quotes, their Instagram handle or the names of their stories

Mine is pretty useless

Your Instagram @! I literally only check the profiles for that and I hate when I can’t find it. You can add that you updated your story if you want to but if I check your profile I can already see your stories by myself. If you’re just a reader maybe add the stories you like

I normally see quotes from shows or movies. Sometimes people’s bios are related to their stories. Some people have stuff relating to themselves (ex. “I’m a new author”, “I love to read and write” etc).

Mine is just a quote from a vine lolol. The road work ahead one if you wanted to know lol

I think the author’s Instagram @ is really all they need. Sometimes they don’t mention it in their stories, and if I want to keep up with updates and whatnot I kinda have to have it lol. It wouldn’t really matter right now since profiles have been temporarily removed from the app, but I often see authors include “chapter ## is out now”, which helps me if they don’t post about an update on Instagram.

Some “funny” quote like “I love pizza!” and their Instagram handle.

“I’m Here for the Memes”.

What do you think should be in an author’s bio?

The type of stories they make or what overall type of stories they make.
