The About Sections

On this page, you will find resources to help you construct your About materials: the "Author's Note" and the "About this Site" sections. As you construct your site, you can include both of these elements on different pages or on the same page in different sections. On this page, we have included both sections on one page.

Author's Note

As you compose your Author's Note, please add a brief introduction which includes:

​

  • your academic interests, experiences, and achievements;

  • colleges and universities attended (be sure to include Arizona State University);

  • a sense of your identity as a writer;

  • your short-term and long-terms goals as a writer. 

​

There are different ways you can address the above. Below, you will find an approach that uses multiple sections and columns, but you could also use simple paragraphs. Play around and find the approach that you feel is most effective.

​

*Note: many people include a photo of themselves along with their Author's Note, but you are not required to do so.​
