My Bio And Headshot
When my publisher asked for a bio and a headshot, I had my husband snap some pictures. I wasn’t so pleased with the results and decided to splurge on a professional photographer. Here’s the result of my “Christie Brinkley” session.
I’m sure my publisher will edit my bio, but here’s what I’ve written so far: Shannon Hitchcock grew up in rural North Carolina on a 100-acre farm. Her extended family and love of the south are integral to her stories. Shannon’s picture book biography, Overgrown Jack was nominated for the Sue Alexander Most Promising New Work Award. Her writing has been published in Highlights for Children, Cricket, Children’s Writer, and other magazines. Shannon currently lives in Tampa, Florida with her husband and teenaged son. Her first novel, The Ballad of Jessie Pearl, was inspired by a family story. For more information, visit Shannon on the web.
Having a novel with my name on the cover is a dream come true for me. I plan to revel in every step of the process!
