Here's what I'll be grading you on:
- Written in 3rd person (5 points)
- Follows the typical progression of an author bio: where you live, family info, other books written -- or the fact that it's your first book, possibly even hobbies if you so choose (10 points)
- Adheres to the conventions of a published piece of writing -- consider capitalization, punctuation, spelling, etc. I will be taking off points if these things are not in place (20 points)
- There's a sense that you studied up on the genre of writing author bios and you show a respect for the genre (5 points)
- Made some noticeable revisions to original author bio (5 points)
- Shared your document with at least 2 classmates who commented on your work (5 points)
- BONUS: Inject some of your own writing voice into the author bio somehow, i.e., find a way to make it more than just plugging in a formula. Try to find a way to make it your own while also adhering to the conventions of the genre. (up to 5 points)
