Attention all authors! If you're interested in sharing your journey with readers through an engaging interview, I'd love to hear from you. Please drop me an email at billyburgess20@hotmail.com with "Interview Questions!" in the subject line. Along with your responses, feel free to include an author biography, links to where your books can be purchased, and a few photos—whether that's an author portrait or the cover of your latest release.
Here are the questions I'd love for you to ponder:
- When did your passion for storytelling first ignite? Was it a spark in childhood or a slow-burning ember that grew over time?
- What was the title of your very first published book or story? (I bet it holds a special place in your heart!)
- What inspired you to write (Title of Your Book)? Was it a moment of inspiration, a character that wouldn't let you sleep, or perhaps a haunting specter of an idea?
- In your novel (Title of Your Book), which character resonates with you the least or the most? Share the ways they mirror your own life or starkly contrast it—those layers can be fascinating!
- What part of (Title of Your Book) are you most fond of? Or, let’s be honest, which scene still makes you giggle or weep?
- What gave you the most trouble when writing it? Was it a tricky plot twist, an emotional scene, or perhaps a character who found their own will?
- If the literary path hadn’t beckoned to you, what would your ideal career be? Fortune teller? Professional ice cream taster?
- Do you read reviews of your work? If yes, do they shape your writing, or do you brush them off like dust on an old bookshelf?
- Which well-known writers do you hold in the highest regard? Who inspires you with their unique voices or imaginative worlds?
- Are there any other books or stories simmering in your creative pot? Or are you taking a breather before diving back in?
I can’t wait to hear your stories! Let’s shine a light on your journey and the magic that spills from your pen.
