Author interviews
An author interview introduces the person behind the book through their experiences, ideas and writing decisions. The Top Author’s Author Studio offers ten reflective interview questions and publishes saved answers on your author profile.
Give readers something only you can say
Explain the question that led to your book, a writing decision you struggled with and what you hope readers will take away. Specific experiences are more useful than generic promotion.
Prepare an honest, readable interview
Use short answers, concrete examples and your own voice. Check names and dates. Avoid invented quotations or confidential material. Answered questions appear with your profile, biography and books.
Connect an interview to your wider work
Link readers to the relevant book or profile rather than repeating a sales message in every answer. For a separately produced editorial interview, contact the team to discuss availability and format.
