I wanted to try something different. I want to host interviews on my blog from every genre, but not the same interviews you read everywhere else. I wanted to ask FUN questions that shows the creative side of the author. No thought prevoking questions here! Only fun ones.
Please pick which questions you would like to answer (you don't have to answer all of them, but please at least answer 5 questions OR answer as many as your heart desires) and then email me your interview in a Word attatchment at alexandchrissy@yahoo.com. If you don't have Word then please put your interview in an email. I will then post the interview on my blog. Feel free to add or create your own fun questions to your interview. And if anyone thinks of any more fun questions, please email them to me. I'd love to hear from you. The main goal is to have a blast and let readers see 'the fun' side of you.
*I will also post your book and blurb so please include the Amazon or Barnes & Noble or Smashwords link in your email to me. Also, please include your book trailer, author bio, and author picture if you have one. The last three are optional*
Also optional: Please include 2 pictures of yourself. I use one at the beginning to introduce you and then one at the end. Also: Include any fun pictures I can incorporate into your interview. For example: If you talk about why you like dogs better than cats, include a picture of your beloved pet. If you talk about your favorite car, show us your dragster. Author Wanita May talked about her "pole vaulting" in college and showed us pictures of her pole jumping. (her interview will post Nov. 15th) Pictures help to personalize the interview. And it's awesome to learn about you and your life. Readers are interested! And so am I! : )
Also feel free to use your imagination and incorporate your interview into your favorite movie scene. For an example, click on my personal "fun" interview to see. http://chrissypeebles.blogspot.com/p/my-very-own-fun-interview.html
Thanks for stopping by The Purple Brick Road. I look forward to meeting the "FUN" side of you!
You don't have to, but it'd be awesome if you'd follow my blog as well. I will follow yours back. We are all authors trying to support one another. : ) Thanks!
