Author Interviews: The Key to Successful Book Promotion

As an author, literary agent, or publicist, you know how important it is to promote your books and author platform.

One way to do this is through author interviews. We have launched an ‘Author Spotlight’ series to help authors to promote their author platforms and find new readers for their books.

We are constantly on the lookout for new and emerging authors to feature on our Author Spotlight series to share their experiences, insights, and inspirations.

Why Are Author Interviews Important?

By doing an interview with us, authors can connect with new readers to create buzz around their latest books. This is a opportunity for authors to build and boost their author brand, and establish new connections with potential readers and fellow writers.

Our ‘Author Spotlight’ series is designed to offer authors a platform to showcase their books, share their writing process, offer advice to new writers and connect with potential readers. By conducting an interview with us, you can gain the visibility you need to boost your author profile and grow your readership.

Apart from our ‘Author Spotlight’ series, there are several other places where authors can promote their books. Book-centric websites and blogs dedicated to authors and the publishing industry are a great place to get your name and book out there. Many of these sites have an ‘Author Spotlight’ page or a regular author interview feature that can help you to build and boost your author platform.

Build & Boost Your Author Platform

If you are looking for more exposure, platforms like Goodreads offer excellent opportunities for authors to promote their books. They offer a variety of ways to engage with readers, including author interviews and book reviews. You can also search for podcasts focused on books, authors, and publishing. Being interviewed on podcasts provides exposure for authors and helps them to connect with a broader audience.

Social media is another excellent avenue for finding websites that feature author interviews. Many book bloggers and fans are active on Twitter, Instagram, Pinterest, TikTok and other platforms, making it a great place to reach out to those who may be interested in learning more about your book or the authors you represent.

Tips on How to Become a BookTok Influencer

Don’t forget to look for traditional media outlets like newspapers, radio programs, and magazines. Many newspapers have dedicated sections or writers who cover books and interviews with authors. Being featured in traditional media can help you broaden your audience and establish yourself as an authority in your field.

Being interviewed as an author has many benefits, including having your interview with us ranked in the top Google search results.

Whether you choose to participate in our ‘Author Spotlight’ series or venture onto other platforms, we wish you all the best as you continue to build and boost your author platform. While you are here, check out our Author Interviews.
