ach month, members of BIO receive an informative<br />
newsletter devoted to the art and craft of biography.<br />
The Biographer’s Craft features news about the business,<br />
interviews and articles with biographers about techniques,<br />
notification of books sold to publishers, new biographies<br />
coming into stores, research tips, and more.<br />
“My ‘lonely quotient’ as a biographer has dropped precipitously since<br />
subscribing to The Biographers Craft. I’m on the mend because I<br />
belong to a community now.”<br />
– Charles J. Shields, Mockingbird: A Portrait of Harper Lee<br />
(Henry Holt, 2006)<br />
“Those of us who write biographies have yearned for a publication<br />
like that compiled by James McGrath Morris. Now we no longer<br />
yearn; instead, we devour his monthly posting.”<br />
– Steve Weinberg, Taking on the Trust: The Epic Battle of Ida<br />
Tarbell and John D. Rockefeller (Norton, 2008)<br />
“It’s the first thing I open when I see it in my inbox.”<br />
– Robin Gerber, Barbie and Ruth: The Story of the World’s Most<br />
Famous Doll and the Woman Who Created Her (Harper, 2009)<br />
“Essential viewing if you’re in the biog business as reader or writer.”<br />
– Grumpy Old Bookman<br />
(listed by the Guardian as one of the top ten literary blogs.)<br />
It’s just one more benefit of your BIO membership.<br />
