WRITING BIOGRAPHY . . . PERSONAL BIOGRAPHY WRITING THAT CAPTURES ATTENTION AND
INTEREST
Are you finding that it’s much harder to write a captivating personal
biography than you thought? Are you getting the feeling that you are
self-promoting to the point that you seem arrogant or conceited? Are you doing
little more than putting a number of unconnected thoughts on a piece of paper?
It is a simple fact that the average ‘home-grown’ variety of personal
biography in circulation today is little more than a collection of tedious
facts. Many are either too short or too long for the individual’s objective
and are frequently filled with boring and unimaginative words.
Writing a
biography is an art that requires solid fact-finding detective work to
determine what you have to sell. But, it also entails the ability to develop a
story that is alive and interesting so that it sells you or your business
without the reader consciously being aware of the sales effort. Writing a
biography is just that simple . . . yet that complex.

BIOGRAPHY WRITING IS MORE
THAN JUST COLLECTING FACTS
Writing a biography is much more than just collecting facts and putting the
words on a piece of paper. Obviously, a personal biography is a true story
about someone’s life or a business entity, but to achieve the desired
results, it must bring the subject to life and tell an attention-getting
story. The challenge, of course, when writing a biography, is to convert what
may be considered a dull narrative of accomplishment and talent into a
polished story that makes readers want to know more about you or your
business.
A personal biography must use exciting words which have sales value to them,
and while this is not a time to be modest, you must minimize the fact that
this is your opinion of yourself. This is an area where most people are
tested when writing a biography for themselves. In other words, you want to
present yourself in the most favorable light possible, but not to the point
where people see you as being egotistical or self-centered. A high-impact
personal biography is written so that other people are interested in reading
what you did with your life and how you responded to the opportunities and
challenges which have defined your success.

THE WINNING FORMULA FOR WRITING A BIOGRAPHY
The first step in writing a biography is determining exactly what it is that
you want to say. This is accomplished by utilizing a unique and exclusive
information gathering device which we call our Personal Biography Profile.
The Profile has been carefully constructed and refined over many years
of usage for biography writing and allows us to collect the exact information
we need about your professional life, major contributions and other relevant
factors so we can bring you to life on paper. Based on the information you
supply, we are then able to begin writing your personal biography, contacting
you by telephone to clarify vague, unclear or incomplete information.
Next, your biography is reviewed by the senior consultant with whom you are
working to ensure that it meets our exacting quality standards and properly
conveys your unique background and achievements. We then fax you a copy of
your personal biography so you have the opportunity to evaluate its content
and the strength of its market appeal. After making any revisions you feel are
appropriate, we then mail your biography . . . hard copy and disk . . . ready
for use. Since the quality of information we obtain from you has a direct
correlation to the quality of your personal biography, no other similar
service can surpass our efforts.

WRITING A BIOGRAPHY THAT CONVEYS YOUR SUCCESS
Obviously, you never get a second chance to make a favorable first impression.
If your personal biography fails to paint a picture of an interesting and
talented professional, you may find that you are out of the game. Biography
writing is an art which must not be treated in a haphazard manner, and you will
not be very successful if you don’t have the type of writing skills required to
execute a topnotch marketing document. Whether you require a personal biography,
or a literary work highlighting the success of your company’s product or
service, make it special by retaining the nation’s most talented biography
writing professionals to prepare your story.
