I'm fascinated by this idea. My biggest personal challenge with writing bios (and one I think a lot of people might struggle with) isn't the actual wordsmithing, which is a strong point for me, but figuring out how to position all my experiences, since they're so varied, into one coherent package.
Would be interesting to see what the questionnaire includes before making a purchase. Would you be willing to post it?
@jasonshen That's our specialty. We started with short profile videos that are generally about 5 sentences long. Summing someone up in 5 sentences is not easy. But we figured it out. See overture.me/jmw for example. Have already produced 3000+ of those. Now we've expanded to longer narratives like bios.

We'd love to tell your story, Jason!

from the daniel chen sample, "Talking about money is can be complicated and daunting" - do you charge separately for proof reading? just kidding, sort of...
I was hired for 8 months in my career, and they had a professional writer interview me to create a bio for their home page. The result was much better than I ever would have come up with. I think your clients may not be solopreneurs but rather larger companies where you come in and bio the entire staff.
@tribaling Thanks, Elia! We've been working with some pretty big companies already. Law firms, doctor's offices, etc. Btw, IdeaHunt looks awesome. Here. We. Go.
Hey @lovejmw, I don't think I'll need a $125 bio for a while, but I'd love to get a Twitter bio written from you guys, in exchange for a tweet about it? Let me know :) www.twitter.com/mrsharma

I suffer from the "shoe cobbler's son" syndrome. Overture has been super helpful for me.
