I need someone to write the bio for my site. I assigned someone to do it for me a month and a half ago...Of course she hasn't finished it.

"I have an English degree I can write the perfect bio for u in no time"

So whoever is a good writer and has good grammar and punctuation skills,I would really appreciate it if you could help me. I'll give u basic info about me and whatever else u need to complete it. Thanks

Update:

Im putting quotes from my friends under my bio section. If u like please leave a quote here about me or my artwork (if u've seen it) and I'll put it on my site.

Thank you

I hope so too

Maybe it's easier if you write it yourself (your skills seem good enough) and then hand it over to your friend so that she can proof-read it and make any necessary adjustments. I think it's the effort required to produce an original text from scratch that has scared her off.

Thats exactly what I did,I already had a simple write up. She said she could add a spark to what I already had.
It's been awile,so I just said forget it...I'll put something simple on the site
(a few lines). She said no way..Im working on something great...I keep asking her about it,but I haven't seen anything
I had faith in her,she loves to write and she really wanted to do it.

I planned on dumping the whole about me section..but I dont want to come across as mysterious.

interesting ... to me that's how you come across... and i like it

ThreadCula said:

So the text is written in first person? In that case I think it should be very personal and be allowed to have certain flaws. It is you writing about yourself, not a streamlined journalistic product.

Mach said:

Yes,EVERYONE says that about me. Even people I just meet.

I figured if people are buying my art they should know a little about me

I just got an idea...Maybe I should put quotes from people about me in the bio section...

retina said:

Yep it was written in first person. But she read it and said it needed something. I got paranoid and removed it.

I really like this one. Too bad the photo is a bit blurry. What you need is a good photographer, not a writer.

yeppers

Threadcula, if you've got something you've already written you'd like someone to look at and objectively edit, I'd be happy to do that.
I'm not a harsh critic, but I'll be tastefully honest and help you with it if you like.

This one? It's no longer available. I sold it just last week. I get lots of compliments on that one

I try to keep all of my work original,but since it's such a fav,Im going to create something similar to it

ThreadCula said:

Sent back. I didn't change much. Your friend was much too harsh.

BUT - if you don't like it, that's fine too. I really like the quote idea.

Thank you Carrie. I love it.
