Your long bio and your short bio
Two biographies, used in different places. The long one is your About page. The short one is the paragraph that sits under your name on the home page and gets used wherever space is tight. If you leave the short one empty we write it from the first part of the long one, which is usually fine and occasionally cuts mid-thought, so it is worth reading what we made. Write the long one in the third person if you want it to read like a programme note, and in the first if you want it to sound like you.
