The Biography Maker is like those homework machines we have been hearing about for many years. It is designed to help you convert facts into insights, dull and boring information into fascination and magic. It will help you do a good job, but you must provide some of the "steam" to make it work well.

The Biography Maker is meant to inspire lively story telling and vivid writing which will make your readers want to know more about your subject.
