Back in February I put out a plea to authors that might want to be interviewed on my site. A lot has happened since then. One thing is that the number of followers for my blog has grown exponentially. I attribute the popularity of these authors as one of the contributing factors for this growth.
As we wind our way through May, I am coming to the end of my scheduled interviews. Beginning May 16th, I will have openings in my schedule to interview additional authors.
I’ve learned a lot from the interviews conducted thus far and I will be making some changes going forward including adjusting my questions so that we can dig further into your work and your background and really give your readers and potential readers insight into what, how, and why you write.
It’s been a rewarding experience for me and I hope that it has helped those authors that have gone through the interview process to gain more exposure. An important benefit for me is that I’ve been able to meet a number of people that share my passion for reading and writing. We are all part of a community and should seek to help each other. This is my way of contributing in a small way.
If you are an author and your interested in being interviewed, just reach out to me at don@donmassenzio.com.
It doesn’t matter if you’ve been traditionally published, you’re an indie author, or you have yet to publish. I will customize the interview to fit your situation.
