Why You Need A Professionally Written Bio

Whether you’re a musician trying to land a gig, a freelancer trying to win more clients, or an executive trying to secure a corporate position, you need a professionally written bio that introduces you in the best possible light. Since no one knows you as well as you do, you’re the best person to write your bio, right?

Well, no.

The fact that you do know you so well can make it hard to determine what someone else who doesn’t know you wants to know about you. It can make it hard to know what to include and what to exclude. Something you may consider trivial may fascinate your audience, while something you may view as important may not interest them at all.

What you need is a fresh perspective, an objective third-party that will assess the mass of your experience and distill it down to the essentials, conveying only what’s necessary to achieve your purpose.

That’s where we come in. We write your bio from the perspective of the people you’re trying to reach. With our colleagues at Elle Jay Media, we’ve written bios for musicians, freelancers, and professionals across a range of fields.

Our team will review any existing material you have, then conduct one or more in-depth interviews with you, either in-person, via Skype, or by phone. During these interviews we’ll delve into your background and experience, your motivations, your views, and – just as important – what you want to accomplish with your bio.

Offline, we’ll then analyze everything we’ve gathered and come back to you with a first draft of your bio in three different lengths suitable for multiple platforms.

We’ll review your bio with you and give you time to review it on your own. If there’s anything you want to change, we include two rounds of revisions before we deliver the final draft.
