Public BIO Builder

Take the next step in your creative career with ITSme Learning BIO Builder

The bio builder helps you build your biography.

With our tool, you’ll be able to generate a great BIO by simply providing some information about yourself and your career. The questions and tips below are designed to help you write a distinctive bio to attract the right clients and showcase your unique appeal as an artist. Keep it true to yourself and let your audience know about your particular personality, background, style, interests and influences! It has never been more important to be proud of what makes us authentic and original creators, especially as generative AI art tools become more sophisticated and prominent.

Don’t be afraid to let your personality show! Our aim is to help clients recognise that art that stems from human experience, empathy and creativity is essential.

Your Name (First Last):

Paragraph 1: The elevator pitch

This section is all about the short, snappy introduction that tells readers who you are, what you do, and what makes your work distinct.

Q1. In one or two sentences, how would you introduce yourself as an artist to someone who has never heard of you?

Q2. What kind of work do you create (for example: picture books, comics, chapter books, non-fiction, etc.) and who do you primarily create it for (age group, readership, or niche)?

Q3. In your own words, what makes your art or storytelling style unique or recognisable?

Q4. If your work had a “big theme” or recurring thread (for example: empowerment, humour, kindness, curiosity, identity), how would you describe it?

Q5. Is there a particular community, identity, or lived experience that you feel is strongly reflected in your work?

Q6. If you had to sum up your creative practice in one sentence (even if it feels awkward!), what would you say?

Paragraph 2: The flex

Now we focus on your professional credentials, experience, and achievements.

Q7. List a few key professional highlights (for example: books published, exhibitions, clients, publishers, awards, shortlists, fellowships, residencies). Please include publisher or client names where relevant.

Q8. Are there any notable collaborations or recurring publishing partners you’d like mentioned?

Q9. Do you have any relevant education, training, mentorships, or programmes you’d like included (for example: art school, MA, mentorship schemes, self-taught with a particular path)?

Q10. Are there any particular skills, techniques, or tools you use that you’d like to highlight (for example: digital painting, traditional printmaking, mixed media, graphic storytelling)?

Q11. If relevant, please list any languages you work in or markets you are active in.

Q12. Is there a particular readership, cause, or area of publishing you feel especially aligned with (for example: early readers, graphic novels, educational publishing, activism, mental health, etc.)?

Q13. Are there any standout projects you’re especially proud of that you’d like highlighted (please briefly describe them)?

Q14. How long have you been working professionally in this field (and if your path was non-linear, what feels important to mention)?

Q15. Is there anything else “impressive” or professionally relevant that you would like included that hasn’t been covered above?

Paragraph 3: The fluffy bit

Here we add warmth, personality, and a sense of you as a human being, not just a CV.

Q16. Where are you currently based, and is there anywhere else that feels important to mention as “home” or creatively formative?

Q17. Are there any personal details you’re comfortable including that add colour to your bio (for example: hobbies, quirks, family details, pets, background, or interests outside your work)?

Q18. What tends to inspire or sustain your creative work (for example: nature, community, politics, childhood experiences, music, etc.)?

Q19. How do you hope readers (or viewers) feel when they encounter your work?

Q20. Is there anything else you’d like people to know about you or your creative practice that hasn’t been captured yet?
