Looking for writers to interview

[Michael]

Hello!

I have recently launched my new podcast, "The Introverted Indie Author Podcast," and am looking for writers who would like to come on and chop it up with me. My hope is to provide conversational interviews with different writers about their craft, projects, as well as journey down interesting tangents. The goal is to be open and honest in our discussions while having fun at the same time.

I have just released the first episode, which provides a brief introduction to the podcast. I am just beginning this journey, but if you give the episode a listen, and think it'd be fun, send me a message. I am currently assembling a list of writers to interview between May 9th and May 14th. I may have to be selective depending on the amount of responses I get, but want to cultivate a wide array of perspectives.

So check out the intro episode and drop me a line. You can search for it on iTunes or go to my website, www.mjsauthor.com/podcast and grab the RSS feed in whatever program you prefer. And feel free to ask me more about it.

Thanks!
Michael J Sanford

I am beginning to assemble a list of writers to interview, but would love to get more!

I just listened to your first podcast and enjoyed it. It sounds like a great way to engage and to help indie authors.

Making a note to check this out.

I'm releasing my debut novel, A Cry Among Men - The Novel in July. You may put me on your writer list to interview now or later.

I would be interested in hearing about what you do.

Michael: Count me in. If you'd like to know more about me and my work, please visit www.nadiaasencio.com.

I look forward to hearing from you; cheers!

I'd love to be part of your show. "A Neighborly Killing," book six in the Regan McHenry Real Estate Mysteries series is newly released. I'd be happy to talk about what characters tell you as you write about them. I'd also like to talk about outlines and timelines, important for mysteries, vs. writing "Mags and the AARP Gang" which felt like a dictated book.

This first interview episode is now live and I've updated my website to better enable you to listen/subscribe to the podcast.

I recorded my session today, and I just want to give some public feedback for other indie authors considering this.

Michael was very professional and courteous. This was my first time doing something like this, so my nerves were pretty much shot the whole time, lol. It took me fifty minutes to build the gumption to turn on my webcam during the Skype call. There was lots of potential for awkward, on my end, but Michael kept things moving along. Despite actually being a rank amateur, I did not come away from the experience feeling like one.

I think we had a rewarding talk that reflects well on both of us and will hopefully keep the listeners engaged.

If you're thinking about signing up for one of these interviews, my recommendation is, go for it!

[Michael]

Thank you so, Adrienne, for your kind words here, and for being willing to guest on my show. It meant a lot to me. I was a little all over the place today during the recording and couldn't always get my thoughts straight, but I had a ton of fun and can't wait to get it edited and out there. It was great to meet someone with so much more than just writing in common with myself. None of us are truly alone. Even if we like to tell ourselves that we are.

[Adrienne]

You're welcome, and I'm happy to reciprocate in any way I can. I will post the link to your blog so all my author friends can see it. Us indies need to stick together. :-)
