INTERVIEW POLICY

If you would be interested in doing an author interview on my blog, all you have to do is get in touch to discuss when you would like the Interview post to appear on my blog and then choose & complete which questions you would like to do. Then send your questions & answers to me via email.

My email address is  jeanz@btinternet.com. 

Also please provide an Author Photograph/Head Shot to go with your interview, or if you are on Goodreads I can use that one if you prefer.

You can choose the type of Interview you would like to do from those featured below, or you can simply complete the questions that you like and remove the ones that you don’t. I'd usually suggest doing between 6-15 questions and always adding where readers can find/stalk(lol) you, so facebook, instagram, website, blog, etc.
