I need to write a C.V to hand in with my manuscript and have no idea how to do it!?!?

Question

Was wondering if anyone could give me suggestions on how to write a C.V for an apiring author? I don't have a lot of experience writing professionally, and haven't taken any courses in it. I enjoy doing it as a hobby, and am now ready to be published, but dont have the background for a C.V. Any ideas on how to make it sound good?
Thanks

Answer 1

Most guides to writing CVs out there are geared toward academics, and would list the person's scholarly achievements such as courses taught, articles published, grants and fellowships won. As a writer, you would want to list things of that nature, have you published any articles or taught classes? Have you won any prizes or grant money? Here's a good guide to CVs, but again, geared toward academics:
