Hello Writer, what’s going
on in your life??? I hope a lot! I invite you to share your knowledge with
other writers who visit FreelanceWriting.com. They want to know more about your
writing career as well as the book(s) that you’ve authored.
Below
are questions for your AUTHOR INTERVIEW. Please answer as many as you can. Be
in-depth with your answers. Provide specifics, tactics, and solutions. Make
yourself sound like a pro; present yourself like one. Remember: I read all
author interviews before I post them online. My standards are high.
If
I decide to post your interview -- and most likely I will -- I will e-mail you
additional information, and perhaps more specific questions. As with all author
interviews, I do my best to create a webpage that also highlights your book(s),
achievements, and links to your website(s). It’s great promotion for you!
Our Author Interviews are HERE.
Feel free to add any questions that may better suit you. When you are
done, SAVE your author interview to your computer (as a back-up), then go to my
contact page at: http://www.freelancewriting.com/contact.php
and copy and paste your interview in the MESSAGE space, then hit the
“SUBMIT” button. If you don’t hear back from me in three days,
contact me.
Okay...Ready? Set...Go!
