Author Q and A
I've never done an author interview. A best selling author offered to do a Q and A on my blog. How do I do this? Do I send him questions in advance? What's the best way to present it?

When I interview authors I usually send them a list of questions (via email), and then they email me back with the answers which I then format.

What Sarah said below is basically it. You can also send them a list of questions and ask them to choose a certain number to answer and send back to you.

What Sarah and Tony said is the way it has worked every time I've done an online interview.

Yes. Send a list of questions that you want him/her to answer. It's that simple! I recently conducted an author interview that may interest you. I invite you to visit my blog. www.thewitchesbrew.biz/blog Good Luck!

Hi Joyce, speaking as an author - who has done some Q & A interviews - the question and answer interview really works well, but to make it work well get to know the author's works and genre, then add in a couple of questions that are more specific to their work. This will make your interview more interesting, for the readers and the author!
Good luck.
