Jen Warren | 446 comments This might seem like an odd request, but in order to serve the greater good of publishing, I would like to start interviewing readers who accept indie requests, perhaps have their own blog, and have written at least twenty or so reviews.

These interviews will be showcased on my website:

https://theveritablefount.wordpress.com/

and will (hopefully) drive traffic to your own blog. (Though you may remain anonymous if you prefer.)

Note: you don't have to have a blog, nor do your reviews have to show up here. I'm looking primarily for experience, past or present.

If you are interested, please reply here, send me a PM, or email me at warren11jen@gmail.com

Thanks!

Lady Echo (ladyecho) | 38 comments I had a blog that accepted requests for reviews until about a year ago. What questions did you have in mind and do I qualify?

Jen Warren | 446 comments Lady Echo, I've PM'd you...

Lynette Chambers | 7 comments I am fairly new to GR and am just rather learning my way around. If I can be of assistance let me know.

J.J. Lair | 57 comments Your post on what readers wish authors knew was insightful. It gave me stuff to think about that I might do.

A.L. Butcher (alb2012) | 848 comments I'm an author but I am also an avid reader. I'd be happy to be interviewed as a reader. I also post reader and reviewer interviews, so I agree it is a great idea.

Jen Warren | 446 comments A.L., I've messaged you.

Hi A.L.

That is a great idea! I would love to interview you and do a post to my blog about reading. Cool idea! I'm a bit stretched at the moment but maybe over the next two or three weeks. Okay?

Caroline

message 11: by Victoria (new)

Victoria Zigler (toriz) | 2898 comments I read a lot, and often do reviews, so if you're still looking for people to interview, I wouldn't mind being interviewed; it would be a nice change of pace to be interviewed as a reader rather than an author.

Hi Victoria or Tori!

Yes, I'd like to interview you readers. If you don't mind I'm working on some questions ... can you please send me your email, either here or as a direct message? Thanks!

Oh my. I think I've stepped in on your requests. The interview idea was great. Can other people ask these readers for their own blog? Sorry, confused.

OK. :)


message 18: by Alexes (new)

Alexes | 122 comments I review, and probably 80% of what I read is indie. No blog though. I'd be happy to answer your questions, if you were interested.
