Author Interviews
Author InterviewsFor authors interested in promoting their books, one of the best ways is by letting others know more about you as an author, your story, your experience and your book. All of this can be done during interviews at virtual or in-person events. When others have a chance you hear an author speak, they are most likely to purchase the author’s book(s). In preparation for any interview, creating a one pager with all the details can really help. This one pager should contain enough information for an interviewer to have an overview of the author.

In the past, authors who attended the event got interviewed during the event. A one pager like this becomes handy for the interviewer and the author.
