Workshops Biographies Most publishers don't want to see a biography, often called a "bio", with your manuscript submission. After all, they have plenty to read as it is. However, this isn't always the case, so don't take this as a hard and fast rule. First off, some publishers do ask for a bio to be included as part of their submission guidelines. However, there are definitely times when including a biography with a manuscript submitted to a publisher for consideration is a wise move on your part even though the guidelines might not ask for one. In either case, you'll have to either trust the guidelines or use some common sense as to when it's most advantageous to you to include a bio. When is it a wise move to include a bio that wasn't asked for? Fortunately, this is easy for most writers to answer. It's when you possess a special background or knowledge that makes you eminently qualified as the writer of the submitted manuscript. What is a bio?

Biography Alice Walker Introduction Early Years Literary Career Introduction Alice Walker achieved early recognition as a poet and novelist, one perhaps more talented than, but otherwise not markedly distinguishable from, a number of other, similar writers. But in the intervening years, she has come to occupy an extraordinary, if not unique, position in contemporary American letters, in which what she represents often seems to be as important as what she writes. Far from the traditional image of the isolated artist, she has sought what amounts to a personal relationship with her readers. She has also taken positions of passionate advocacy, most notably in her campaign against ritual genital mutilation of young women, a practice still institutionalized in many parts of the world. The Color Purple (1982), her most famous work, has been at the center of an ongoing controversy, especially in terms of its depiction of African-American men. More recently, several of her short stories have been objects of bureaucratic censorship in California, one because of its purported immorality (its protagonist is a young unwed mother), another "because it might be viewed as advocating a particular nutritional lifestyle" (!). Early Years Alice Walker was born in Eatonton, Georgia, on February 9, 1944, the daughter of Willie Lee, a dairy farmer and sharecropper, and Minnie (Grant) Walker, who augmented the family income by working as a maid. When she was eight years old, an accident caused her to lose the sight of one eye. She attended Spelman College from 1961 to 1963, and then transferred to Sarah Lawrence College in Bronxville, New York, where she earned a B.A. in 1965. She is now a member of the board of trustees of her alma mater.
