Advice needed

I was hoping I could use my blog as a request for advice...

How important is a bio and photo to an unpublished author?
Is it money that could be spent on bills or is it putting it out to the universe that I'm ready to be published?

Please comment and tell me your thoughts.
Thanks.
Kym

What would you be using the bio and photo for? I think the best way to show you're ready to be published is to submit your work. Enter contests. Go to conference and network and pitch. I feel a bio and photo can wait. You have your website which gives you a presence and that's a place you could have a bio about yourself and a picture. Interesting topic and I'm waiting to see what other responses are :)

I agree with Nicki.

You can have a bio and photo on your website and develop anything else as you need it.
