I've recently been offered the opportunity to interview authors of several of the books I've reviewed. My question for you, my readers, is "Do you care?" Does knowing something about the author make you better appreciate the book? Do you read author interviews published on other blogs? Would you be interested in submitting interview questions? In other words, if I told you that I had the opportunity to interview the author of (insert name of book) and was wondering if you had any questions, would you submit some via comment?
Author interviews is the one area I have avoided in book blogging. It just doesn't interest me. In all honesty, I don't read a lot of author interviews unless I'm really interested in the book or author.
ReplyDeleteI wouldn't even know what questions to ask for an author interview. If I come across an interview on a blog I'll read it if I've read a work of theirs.
ReplyDeleteI don't think an interview would convince me to read a book if I weren't already interested in it. OTOH,if I were intrigued by a book, I'd like to know more about the author.
