message 1: by Annie (new)

Annie Johnson (chompasaurus) | 63 comments I am looking for more authors who want to answer some interview questions to be posted on my blog. I would like to schedule a whole bunch more since I am aiming to feature 1-3 authors per week. If you'd like to do some interview questions, please check out my blog and send me your interview!

http://chompasaurusreviews.wordpress....

Feel free to share the link to your interview with friends, family, complete strangers, and frenemies.

If you're a brand new author, check out my little guides, and be sure to check back for whenever new guides are posted! I'm happy to help out authors, especially new ones looking for some guidance.

Thanks!

R.M. Gilmore (rmgilmore) | 8 comments Hey miss! Have a new series starting next week which I am calling a "county girl paranormal". I'd love to take part in an interview and talk about the new series, or really, anything!

If you need an idea of what I'm all about please check out http://www.RMGilmoreAuthor.com Here you can get the skinny on the Dylan Hart Odyssey of The Occult series AND the shiny new Lynnie Russell Trilogy!

Thanks for the opportunity doll! Look forward to working with you.

Cheers

I'm all over it, Annie! HACK will hit the virtual shelves any day now, so I'll complete the interview and let you know when the book is live. I will also have a blog in Huffington Post Books very soon that I'm sure your readers will find intriguing. I was invited based on this post in my blog, Adventures in Limboland: http://bit.ly/nxMHzT. Also happy to promote The Chompasaurus!

You can email all of that to me at anniechompjohnson@gmail.com if the link isn't working for you. Just put "Author Interview Questions" in the subject line so that I can keep it all in order!

Thanks!

message 26: by Cindy (new)

Cindy Matthews (celinechatillon_cynthianna) | 13 comments Hi Annie! Great idea and I've done author interviews before, but I have a couple of questions:

1) If we write under different pen names (for different genres) do we need to do more than one interview or can we combined them?

2) Do you want us to answer all 34 questions? It would be a very long interview! Or do we just answer a few of them we feel most apply to our writing?

Thanks! Cindy aka Celine Chatillon/Cynthianna

To answer your questions....

If you'd like to combine your aliases into one interview, that's perfectly fine with me.

And aaaahh no. Just answer between 6 and 10 questions and send those to me. You can either pick and choose which ones you like the best or follow the steps I made up to get a random(er) list of questions. :)


message 28: by Cindy (new)

Cindy Matthews (celinechatillon_cynthianna) | 13 comments Thanks for the clarifications. I'll put it on my to-do list! :)

D.  (dtaylorl) | 3 comments Sounds fun,I'm a new author and would love to participate.


message 31: by [deleted user] (new)

Hi Annie, Thank you for the opportunity. How long can each question be? How many words do you want to keep it under? Thanks!


message 32: by Thea (new)

Thea Landen (thealanden) | 9 comments Hi Annie! Your site looks great! I'll definitely be looking over the list of questions and contacting you soon. Thanks!

I don't have a cap per se, but please try to keep the answers a reasonable length. I definitely want them to have some substance to them, but let's say something like keep each answer under 600 words?

Cynthia Vespia (cynv) | 48 comments Thanks for the opportunity. I like the way you included the deciphering technique to choose the questions.

Haha, I know some people prefer to have random questions thrown at them and some prefer to pick and choose, so this gives both people something that they'll be happy with. :)

Seconde..."



Thank you! :)

I do try to help all of the authors that contact me for advice/support.

I know that my responses are a bit slow and I do apologize! If any of you would like to flaunt your skills, I am doing a writing contest. I do believe very strongly in giving authors every opportunity to shine for readers. :)

Lol! I was hoping the numbering system would be fun. I wanted it to be a cute little thing and am glad that it's not earning all kinds of eye rolls.
