Anonymous Teen Reader
This week's Anonymous Teen Reader could be… you.
Well, okay. Not THIS week's. But next week or the week after.
Those of you who have been following the interviews know that the final question was; "What one thing would you like to know about other teens?" Well, the new Anonymous Teen Interview questions will be comprised of THOSE questions. This way, you guys can find out the stuff you want to know about each other. JUST THE FACTS and ABOUT THE BOOKS will remain the same because A) we need to know who we're talking to, at least in an abstract way, and B) reading habits change according to age, circumstance, etc.
But the rest of the interview will be all new. There are some REALLY cool questions here! And since most of the interview is different, I'm opening the interviews up to those who have already been featured. All you have to do if you want to be featured is the following;
1. Copy and paste the questions below into another document.
2. Send the questions with your answers to prophecypress@aol.com with "Anonymous Teen Reader" in the subject line.
3. Attach a .jpg image that you'd like to represent you (just make sure it doesn't show your face).
4. Include an email address so we can let you know when your interview is scheduled.
That's it! I'll schedule interviews as I receive them and will have my assistant send you an email with your schedule interview date. And feel free to spread the word to friends!
