Biographers International Organization has a worldwide membership of biographers. We also welcome those working on documentaries and biographies for young adults or children. Whether you're a writer, editor, or agent, first-timer or veteran, published or unpublished, aspiring or merely looking, BIO is here for you.

Whatever state your biography’s in—vague idea, proposal, well underway—BIO’s experienced biographers can help. BIO offers a one-hour coaching session via phone or email for a members’ discounted rate of $60. (Coaches may charge more for subsequent hours.) Email Michael Gately with a brief statement about the nature of your project and your goals for the one-hour session.

Each month BIO features a different blog or website maintained by a member, as well as a video highlighting a member’s book or public appearance.
