There are no words that I dread more, professionally, than "please submit your bio." It is a thing that must be done, and so I have a very basic bio that I wrote in college and keep on file, gradually being updated as the years go on. Dale Trumbore's post "5 Things to Take Out of Your Bio Right Now" on MusicSpoke in September really got my wheels turning about bios.
