More questions about writing a Bio

bellymamadoula · 09-16-2008, 08:45 PM

shouldn't a professional Bio be written in third person? (this is what all my texts are telling me anyways. I know it looks more formal that way, but at the same time I'd rather err on the side of being too formal then too familiar)

is it proper to capitalize the word "doula" as it's used as a title?

did you add a photo to your bio?

Thanks for any help.

Normally...yes...a bio would be written in the third person. With mine I wanted to take all formality out of it so I did not write it that way. The whole idea is to have clients as comfortable as possible. I want my possible clients to feel more "relaxed" about who I am. For medical professionals I will write one that is in the 3rd person and more formal.

Doula as title would be capitalized. And no I didn't add a photo of myself to my paper bio...online yes.
