Would Anyone Like to Do a Skype Interview with Me?

[suspensewriter 5,797]

To promote your books, I was wondering if anyone would like to do a Skype interview with me?

[William D'Andrea 833]

What do you mean by "Skype interview"?  When it comes to using the internet, I'm not all that sophisticated.  For me it's like making my way through a wilderness.

   If you want a telephone interview, I wouldn't.  I'm not all that comfortable speaking on the phone.  Also, when using a cellphone, the phrase "Time is money", is no figure of speech.

   Just sending written questions back and forth, like we're doing here, is fine with me.  When I'm speaking, I'm not all that quick with my words.  I'd prefer to take all the time I need to write things down, using words I choose, just the way I want to use them, which could take a considerable amount of time.

Sorry, William.  It's only Skype interviews.

     That's okay.  Like I said, I don't think I'd be able to handle one.  I'd have to do it at my own speed.

whoa that sounds so cool! (tho I'm pretty sure it was directed at adults lol) 

[Claire Tucker 2,606]

Sounds like a great opportunity! I just don't have any books yet

[suspensewriter 5,797]

@ThePerilousPen, there's no age restrictions.  The interview can be on your hopes and dreams of being a writer.

[suspensewriter 5,797]

You don't need any books, Claire.  Again, it can be what books you have in the making!

What would you do with the Skype call?  Would this go on youtube?  Or would it be part of a podcast?  I'm a little excited about the possibilities.  Even if I can't join in, I feel like this is a great opportunity.

[suspensewriter 5,797]

This would be on YouTube and my website.  An interview would be great for up and coming authors.

ohhh that's cool! 

[quackingpenguin 27]

Having thought it over, I've decided I would like to partake if that's okay with you.

[suspensewriter 5,797]

Sure, it's okay with me!

[Claire Tucker 2,606]

One more question: is there a time frame limit on your offer?

[suspensewriter 5,797]

Nope!  Anytime is fine.  Just give me enough time to prepare a list of questions for you.

[Claire Tucker 2,606]

Sounds great! It'll probably be a couple of months before I'm ready for an interview

[suspensewriter 5,797]

Alright, Claire, I'll be waiting!

[Nicola 1,813]

Is the offer still good? Interviews are a terrific way to be known in the wide world! I'll do one with you!

[suspensewriter 5,797]

Sure, it's still open.  I'll submit to you a list of questions.

Hello. I'm new and have just spotted this. Still open?

 

[carolinamtne 5,023]

I'm thinking. It sounds like a good thing.

[suspensewriter 5,797]

Hello, Pete.  Sure, I'm still open.  What about sometime the end of next week.  Do you have Skype?

[suspensewriter 5,797]

It is a good way to promote an upcoming book, Carolina.  I'd love to interview you!

I do have Skype (on my mac) but haven't used it. I'll make sure it works.

[suspensewriter 5,797]

Good.  It's how I conduct interviews.
