Bios, Personal Statements, Writing Resumes—Oh my!

If you’ve ever applied to a school or a job, you’ve likely had to write a bio, personal statement or resume.

These bits of accessory writing are equally important to helping you get your foot in the ever-elusive door to becoming a professional film and TV writer. An intriguing bio or personal statement can get a manager, showrunner, head of a writing program (or any person on the other end of the hiring table) excited about you and eager to read your work.  

To fill the voracious appetite amongst program participants and library patrons for information on how to write short bios and the like, we offer some tips. Take note, though, while we can offer tips on what to do and not do, bios and personal statements are just that—personal—and your individuality will ultimately help you stand out.
