So I'm working on a short story for an anthology (Short Story Anthology: Call for Submissions | Sorin Suciu), and in my initial submission they want the following:
I have the short synopsis written, and I plan to use an excerpt from the story I'm submitting, which is fine. But I have no idea what to put in the biography. I have no previous publishing/editing/etc. credentials, no degree in creative writing or involvement in writing groups like SFWA. So what can I say that will help my case and not hurt it?
A brief author biography
A short synopsis (no more than two lines) of what you will write about
A writing sample: up to 500 words of your original published or unpublished work.
