Author Bio Generator
Write the third-person author bio Amazon, Goodreads and your back cover need. Free, no account required.
Amazon, Goodreads and the back cover all want the same thing and it is not a CV: two or three sentences, in the third person, that tell a reader why this person wrote this book. Awards and degrees only matter if they bear on the subject.
Write it once and reuse it everywhere. Fiction bios lean on personality and place; nonfiction bios lean on why you are worth listening to on this topic.
Common questions
- How long should an author bio be?
- Between 50 and 100 words for a book jacket or an Amazon author page. Write a one-sentence version too, for guest posts and podcast introductions.
- Should an author bio be in first or third person?
- Third person, almost always. It is the convention on book jackets and retailer pages, and first person reads as a personal essay in a place readers expect a description.
- What if I have no writing credentials?
- Most debut authors have none, and it does not matter. Say where you live, what you do, and what drew you to this subject. Specific and true beats impressive and vague.
