Does anyone agree with this assertion set forth by Terje Johansen in an article called Writing Your Bio on WritingWorld.com?
Write in Third Person. People automatically give more trust to what is said of one person by another, than to what people say about themselves — even when they know that the bio was written by the author. Elementary psychology, and used by everybody who needs respect. In addition, the third person creates a little distance that allows the reader to feel less intruded upon.
I sure don’t agree with it. Is creating distance really the way to get people to trust you? I don’t think so.
