Author Bios

I have a big problem with these. It is particularly difficult for a person with no or very little publishing credits to write a concise yet meaningful bio. I say meaningful because the bios are supposed to summarize the writer's work and not the writer's interests because no one cares that I like to crochet in my spare time!

This brings me back to the dilemma: How does a person write a bio and summarize her writing history when she has no good credits to start with?!

Ugh. I say we banish ALL bios. It's all meaningless unless there's a good story behind it.
