I understand what you mean about feeling like you’re bragging – a lot of us were taught that it’s not socially acceptable to “toot our own horns”….but in business that’s exactly what we need to do. But with marketing savvy, a little restrain, and brevity.

This is where it’s well worth hiring a copywriter who specializes in marketing and PR – they should spend a little time getting to know you, and then can craft a perfect set of bios – short and medium for most other publications, and a longer one for your own blog.

I just revised mine on LinkedIn and will probably revise it again. For me writing a bio is a challenge. I may find someone else to write it. Maybe I’ll ask my screenwriting coach about it.

Thanks for the comments I think our bios will always be a work in progress because we’ll grow as writers. Thanks for the reminder about LinkedIn. I need to go back and revise my bio!
