Live Author Chat & Interview Transcripts
Over the years we've had the opportunity to host numerous live chat sessions and email interviews with some amazingly talented authors. Below you'll find the transcripts of these chats and email interviews for your enjoyment.
Our live chats are casual and interactive where all participants are encouraged to ask questions and make comments, much the same as you'd have over coffee or lunch. Often these chats go off on tangents as one question or comment leads to another. You should enjoy reading them! |
