Please review the “About You” section in your “Personal Details”

Many of us filled in the “About You” box (found under “Personal Details” in your account) when we originally signed up for membership in OAF. We did this perhaps not realizing the text in that box might one day be displayed in a Front Page publication of our work as an “author bio”.

In publishing works to the Front Page, I have noticed that some of these author bios could use some editing/updating to keep them fairly succinct and well-written. It would be useful if you could review that section in your account and see if it is how you would want it to look on the Front Page. This will help maintain a high level of quality on our signature Front Page.

Thanks!
 
What I have seems lengthy rather than brief. I'm okay with the information presented. But I wonder if there's a guideline about word count?

No guidelines. It's entirely up to you how you want your bio to look if/when one of your pieces is posted on the Front Page. Practically speaking, it's not really meant to be a resume. Just succinct information that you want readers to know about you.
 
To: Mr. Huffman, I am having problems finding and editing front page about you info, is there a way to send me a link so to review what is there now?
would you be able to send me the link in a format that allows me to edit if needed?
thank you,

Hi Chad,
When you click on the “Forums” page on OAF, you should see your name in the small blue bar at the upper right of the page. If you click on your name you will see a drop down menu. Click on “personal details” and then scroll to the bottom where you will see the “About You” box, where you edit the information about you and save. If you still have problems, let me know. I’m happy to help! :)
