Will pay a stipend to anyone who's qualified to reduce 300 words to 250, to suit me.

I might could give it a go, but I don't want to be paid in stipends, I prefer cash!


I wonder if tap dancers walk into a room, look at the floor, and think, I'd tap that. I wonder about things.....

Had a good lawyer friend, if he would leave out the what fors, the so forths and so ons and just concentrated on the who, what, when, where and why, then he could say alot in a smaller space. He talked even better when he kept his hands in his pockets so he didn't throw things, lol.

It is your own professional biography, James ?

PM it to me and I will cut you down to size. laugh

Seriously though,

I'd take a look at it.

I've helped a few people cut down excessive wordiness in their resumes, etc.

Do you need to be a professional to have a professional bio written?


I got myself a seniors' GPS.
Not only does it tell me how to get to my destination,
it tells me why I wanted to go there.

Send it to Hal. He can cut it down to two words for you, if it is your autobiography. whistle

My mother, wife, and daughter were/are all English composition majors. Put the three of them together, they could win a Pulitzer Prize writing a bio.

How much is it worth to you to have an exceptional biography? First draft? Each rewrite?

Put cash on the barrelhead and we can talk.

Even if you are a professional at writing bios, it's always a good idea to have someone else at least proof read what you write.
Whatever you write yourself always makes sense to you the writer; that doesn't mean it will make sense to the reader.

James,
I'm not volunteering to edit your bio. If I were to, it would only be because I would really like to actually read your bio.

Thanks to all offers to help. An ex-editor volunteered to help by PM, and he's chewing up my bio now.

Exactly.

If I had a full-time editor, maybe my posts would make sense to everyone.
