Romance Heroines We Love Writers Who Read: Abby Chew

Introducing the Writers Who Read Series

I’m excited to announce a new series on this blog, Writers Who Read.

I’m both a writer and a huge book nerd, and I’m thrilled at the chance to bring these two interests together through a series of writer interviews particularly focused on books and reading.

I’ll be interviewing writers–of all stripes, at all stages of their writing journey–and sending them ten questions focused on their reading lives. Questions like, How do you balance reading and writing? and What are your three favorite childhood books?

The goals of Writers Who Read:

to provide an opportunity for authors to talk a little about what they write and a lot about what they read
to help readers (and reader-writers) discover new authors and books
to celebrate our shared love of books

I’ve got a group of writers already participating, but I’d love to expand this list and make it as diverse as possible. If you are interested in participating, email me at writerggandrew AT gmail.com and I’ll send you more details!

**Update: due to an enthusiastic response, I’m booked with interviews for all the weeks leading up to the end of 2014! But I am still scheduling for posts until July 2015, so if you’d like to do the interview the first half of 2015, drop me a line.**

Note: I don’t generally review books on this site, and so I won’t be reviewing the books featured in this series. It’s a time thing: between two book clubs, my own writing, and chasing two little boys I don’t have time to read all the books. But one of the joys of this series for me has been discovering new authors and stories, and I’ve been digging learning more about writers’ work as well as their reading…even if my TBR list is growing to astronomical proportions!
