Initially I did not interview authors, I just did book reviews. However, some books required a far greater insight and I would reach out to the author with my questions, to enable me to write the review. Thus, began my foray into actual author interviews.<br />However, till date, I interview an author only after I've reader her/his book and the questions I ask are book specific.<br />I do see so many similar questions in author interviews, which have nothing whatsoever to do with the book in question. True, some of these questions result in some interesting answers, but I really love it, when questions asked relate to the book and provide added insights into BOTH the book and the author.Lubnahttp://www.booksonmyshelves.blogspot.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2240022922254733667.post-69619641851713540202012-06-07T14:24:54.927-10:002012-06-07T14:24:54.927-10:00Karen, I agree, it isn't always possible to me...Karen, I agree, it isn't always possible to measure results, and staying in the game is part of the joy of writing!<br /><br />Lynda, you're right, interviews do spread the word about both the author and the book.<br /><br />Thank you for visiting today.
