+*Re: Author Bio & Media Kit Brief — Information Required*
+
+Hi there,
+
+I'm ready to build out your complete bio package, but the brief arrived without the source material I need to write accurate, specific copy. 
+
+**To deliver bios that actually sell this author (and avoid generic placeholders), I need:**
+
+1. **Author Name** (as it appears on the book)
+2. **Book Title** + one-sentence premise
+3. **Credentials that matter**: Previous publications, relevant professional background, education (only if prestigious or relevant), awards (specific names, years)
+4. **Origin story**: Where they currently live, day job if interesting, how they came to write this specific book
+5. **The Hook**: What makes this voice/book different from others in the genre? (e.g., "Only thriller writer who is also a practicing forensic psychiatrist")
+6. **Humanizing details**: Hobbies, pets, odd habits, family situation (only what they're comfortable sharing publicly)
+7. **Current project**: What they're working on now or what this book launch represents
+8. **Contact info** for the media block: Publicist email/phone, website URL, desired social handles
+
+**Once you send these details, I'll deliver:**
+
+✓ Short bio (50 words) — jacket-ready, high-impact  
+✓ Medium bio (150 words) — speaking engagement optimized  
+✓ Long bio (300 words) — press kit narrative arc  
+✓ First-person "About Me" (100 words) — website warmth  
+✓ Social stack (X, IG, LinkedIn) — platform-specific formatting  
+✓ Photo caption + Media contact block  
+
+*No "passionate storytellers" or "journey" clichés. Just concrete credentials and voice.*
+
+Send over the file/links and I'll have this turned around in 24 hours.
