Tips for Authors

When doing a media interview you can either worry about your performance or relax and enjoy it. The more relaxed you seem the easier it is for the interviewer to bring out the best in both of you.

Tip: Say your title at least three times in every interview. Yes, there will be times when this is impossible, and there will be times when this is tacky, but if you make it a rule and stick to it, you will sell more books. Erase the words "my book" from your vocabulary, and always use the full title to refer to your work. This is one easy way to sell books in an interview without sounding like an infomercial.
