Looking for Book Bloggers Interested in Hosting Debut YA Author for Interviews, etc

[Shannon Delany]

I'm an author whose first YA paranormal novel hits bookshelves June 22, 2010 from St. Martin's Griffin. The novel is 13 TO LIFE: A WEREWOLF'S TALE, a tale of teenage love, loss and--oh, yeah--werewolves. ;-) I am a member of the Class of 2k10 and will be speaking at the RT Booklovers' Convention and attending BEA and RWA. This is not only my debut novel but also the first book in my trilogy and I'm looking for book bloggers (and fellow writers) interested in talking to me about my path to publication, the series, writing--whatever.

When I schedule an interview or giveaway I make it a point to be available several times that day to check your followers' comments and respond to questions, making things interactive. I also pride myself of providing a little exclusive or unique content for each interview or guest post I'm part of. I will try my hardest to make sure your interview or content is different from everyone else's at least in some small way.

I have some interviews already lined up on different blogs and sites but would like to have a full and diverse blog tour. I'm specifically looking for dates in late May, parts of June and the beginning of July.

My author site is here: http://ShannonDelany.com and my series site will launch mid-March. You can also learn more about me via http://13toLife.us/blog , Goodreads, LibraryThing or Twitter.

I look forward to being in contact with those of you interested in talking to me. :-)

Hi Chioma! I glanced at your blog and saw 13 to Life in your montage--very cool! I'll be emailing you later today (using the email on your blog) to discuss how and when you'd like to do the interview. I look forward to chatting with you via email. Have an awesome day! :-)

Cool, Ill be awaiting your e-mail, Im sure my readers will be excited to here about your new book!!!

[Shannon Delany]

Chioma,

I tried sending an email to the address on your blog and it bounced back. I'll recheck it later today (I may have mistyped something) and try again. If that doesn't work I guess I'll figure out how to contact you here.

Thanks,
~Shannon

I wonder why that happened??? It is a kind of confgusing e-mail. I made it when I was 9 and refuse to give it up lol. But if it still doesnt work, you can use the contacts form on my menu bar and it will go directly to my email!!!

I'm still a fairly new book blogger, but I would be very interested in interviewing you for my blog! I've featured 13 to Life as a Waiting on Wednesday and it's got a solid place on my TBR list (and Debut Author Challenge list). I'm so excited to read your book, and would love to host an interview.

Cait, being a new book blogger is absolutely fine by me. I'll try and email you later this week to set a date for an interview to post (and then you can get it written up well in advance so there's no stress). I'm aiming for dates in late May, June and early July mainly.

Thanks a bunch for WoW-ing 13 to Life and putting it on your Debut Author Challenge list. :-)

Sounds perfect! Any of those months would work fine with me =)

Hey Shannon!

I'd be interested in hosting you on my blog, Poisoned Rationality, for a guest post :D I'm looking forward to 13 to Life's release!

And if you're keen on it, maybe an interview at BEA? I review YA for a site called BSC Review as well and got the go ahead for author interviews at Book Expo. My e-mail is [e-mail], I look forward to hearing from you!

Lexie,

I will absolutely be emailing you about both. I may even be able to hook you up with other members of the Class of 2k10 attending BEA in case you want to do a bunch of interviews while you're there. I'd be thrilled to help you get that organized. :-)

I'll be in touch!
