    Tell Me About Yourself: The Art of the Bio

    Stone Soup Books
    $45
    06:30 PM - 08:30 PM on Tue, 22 Jul 2025

    For some of us, writing about ourselves can be challenging. It can be difficult to find the right words that are authentic and engaging — especially with the pressure of knowing you never get a second chance to make a first impression. This single-session workshop will guide you in writing a bio that works in a printed program (such as for a reading or an exhibit) or online (such as a networking site or an “About" webpage). We will have time to write, get feedback, and revise. The workshop is taught by Ady Dewey.
