There are two writing magazines that I enjoy reading, The Writer and Writer’s Digest, and my favorite segments are the author interviews.
There is so much you can learn about an author from an interview that’s not on the back cover of a book or an author’s website. In particular, I think it’s fascinating to read about an author’s writing process and what influences his or her writing. And if I enjoyed the interview and have not read any of the author’s books, that’s an added bonus; I like discovering new authors to read.
If you are like me and enjoy reading author interviews (where secrets are often revealed), please enjoy these two interviews:
- Kathy Reinhart, Ink Drop Interviews & Reviews, interviews author Linda Westphal: Define a great book; Tell us about the picture on the cover of your book THE MEDIUM; Tell us about the theme running through your book THE HERMIT BOOKSTORE; and, more – View the interview
- Lisa Montanino, Accidental Bohemian, asks author Linda Westphal about writing, reading, life – View the interview
