1 On Author Bios Mel Campbell , 2014 single work essay
— Appears in: Overland , Summer no. 217 2014; (p. 20-21) 'The article offers the author's insight on the author biographies which offer a brief summary of the life and achievements of an author that is usually in the third person. He says that the biography serves different rhetorical purposes including as an information-sharing, promotion, and establishment of authority and relatability. He discusses topics on author biographies including the jocularity in biographies, the personal decision what to write in a biography, and writer Courteney Hocking.' (Publication abstract)
