WordPress Theme & Plugin Tips for Multi-Author Site

I’m back in WordPress land after a while…

I have to create a WordPress driven website that should have posts from multiple (tens) authors and no specific categories (all posts are of the same type). The site should also have “Meet the team” page with the listing of authors. Each author should have a page with bio and listing of articles.

Maybe the support for author pages and listings is better now but my first idea was to create one category per author and use that for author listings since I don’t need any other categories as mentioned above. Meet the team could be a standard page then, linking to specific author-categories.

Do you have any tips for nice and modern WP themes for this type of website?
