message 1: by Mia (new)

Mia Darien (mia_darien) | 425 comments I'm looking for folks who would like to do a little book promotion via author and/or character interviews! My July line-up still has spots I'm looking to fill, with author interviews on Mondays (Ten Questions with Mia Mondays) and character interviews on Thursdays. :)

So, if anyone is interested, let me know! Post here or email me at mia.darien (at) att.net

Thanks!
Mia

I'll give it a shot, Mia!


message 3: by Mia (new)

Mia Darien (mia_darien) | 425 comments Awesome! I'll email you. :)

Bennett Coles | 4 comments Hi Mia,

It sounds interesting to me. How does it work? It is a live interview (phone, I presume) or remote via written Q&A?

thanks,
Bennett R. Coles


message 5: by Mia (new)

Mia Darien (mia_darien) | 425 comments I do all my interviews by email. :)

Charles Verhey (charlesverhey) | 70 comments I would be very interested!


message 7: by Mia (new)

Mia Darien (mia_darien) | 425 comments Send me an email and tell which type of interview (or both!) you are interested in. :)

Jeffrey Poole (authorjmpoole) | 2287 comments Mod
Got the questions, Mia. I'll start working on 'em. Feels like homework! :)

Now, with regards to my wife reading that story, what would you like her o look for? Typos? Sections which are confusing? Plot holes? Continuity issues?

Steve Thomas | 198 comments I'm always game for an interview, Mia.


message 10: by Mia (new)

Mia Darien (mia_darien) | 425 comments Big J: Like I said in the email, the big stuff. It needs editing, I know that, but I want to make sure it's a likable story. Does it make sense? Plot, characters, continuity, pacing... Did you enjoy it? Is the romance believable? Etc., :)

Steve: Shoot me an email -- mia.darien (at) att.net -- and let me know which type (or both) you are interested in!

Raphyel Jordan (raphyelmjordan) | 32 comments For the record, I did both an author and character interview with Mia, and it was a lot of fun! Especially the character one.:) Thx Mia!


message 12: by Michelle (new)

Michelle Lowe (michellelowe7gmailcom) | 9 comments Hi, Mia. If you have any room for another author, I'd love the opportunity to be interviewed. Please let me know. Thanks!


message 13: by Mia (new)

Mia Darien (mia_darien) | 425 comments I'm always happy to add to the list. The author interview slots are full till September now, but I have many slots for the character interviews, if you're interested?

Hi Mia!

Just wanted to say thanks again for posting the interview on your site! I appreciate it!

I have a question about character interviews. Would it essentially be a character from my book asking the questions? If so, I'll give it a try! :)

I've also done an interview with Mia, but mine was role-playing being in her universe. It's a good time for sure.


message 16: by Mia (new)

Mia Darien (mia_darien) | 425 comments Thanks, guys. It's been awesome to host you!

Big J: It depends on the interview. The "Out of World" interview is your character knowing they are in a book, so I get to ask them questions. "In World" means I sort of write a character in your world to ask the questions while your character (of your choice) answers the questions.

Does that help? OOW is quicker and quirkier, while IW is more in depth and tailored.

Michelle Lowe (michellelowe7gmailcom) | 9 comments Hi, Mia! I would love to do the chapter interviews. It sounds like fun!

Hi Mia. I would say the Out of World interview sounds interesting. I'd be willing to give that one a go! Just let me know what you need me to do!

Big J

Mia Darien (mia_darien) | 425 comments Michelle: please email me (mia.darien@att.net) and we'll go from there!

Big J: I will email you. :)

Hi Mia - I'm working on the Out of World interview questions now.

Essentially, you'll be interviewing Pryllan. Ever interview a dragon? :)


message 21: by Mia (new)

Mia Darien (mia_darien) | 425 comments *thinks* I don't believe I have. Good guys, bad guys, fire elemental in human form, vampires, aliens... but no dragons! Looking forward to it. :)


message 22: by Mia (new)

Mia Darien (mia_darien) | 425 comments Giving this a bump. I'm needing more authors and characters to do interviews on my site! You can check out current and past interviews: http://www.miadarien.com and email me at mia.darien@att.net if you are interested!

Thanks!


message 23: by [deleted user] (new)

Hi Mia - I just sent you an email about the author and character interviews. Either one is fine with me, if you wanted to interview me.

Thanks, Mona


message 24: by Eric (new)

Eric Quinn (eqknowles) Mia, I just emailed you.


message 25: by Kevin (new)

Kevin Mullikin | 56 comments This sounds like fun! I would love to give it a whirl.


message 26: by Mia (new)

Mia Darien (mia_darien) | 425 comments Drop me an email! Folks don't have to feel obligated to choose between the two, either. I'm happy to have authors do author and character interviews. :)


message 27: by Alex (new)

Alex Albrinck This sounds intriguing. Sent you a note, Mia. :)

Cheers for doing this, Mia. I've sent you an e-mail about it.


message 29: by A.L. (new)

A.L. Butcher (alb2012) | 1013 comments Yeh sounds interesting


message 30: by Mia (new)

Mia Darien (mia_darien) | 425 comments If you're interested, send me an email for more information.


message 31: by Mia (new)

Mia Darien (mia_darien) | 425 comments I'm giving this post a bump, because after an extended period of life insanity I am crawling back over the cliff I fell off of with goodreads and getting back on top of things... and I have several open slots for character and author interviews on From Mia's Desk!

So, if anyone would like to be interviewed--as author, as character, or as both--please feel free to send me a message on GR or email me at darien.mia (at) gmail.com. People who've been interviewed already are welcome to return for the type they didn't do, or with a different character.

Thanks!


message 32: by A.L. (new)

A.L. Butcher (alb2012) | 1013 comments Character interviews? That sounds interesting. I might be up for author or character ones.


message 33: by Mia (new)

Mia Darien (mia_darien) | 425 comments You're free to do both, if you like. They are both pre-written questions, so email me (darien.mia (at) gmail.com) and request which one/s you want and I'll send you the documents.


message 34: by A.L. (new)

A.L. Butcher (alb2012) | 1013 comments Ok will do when I have a working brain and can actually type.


message 35: by [deleted user] (new)

I peeked at your website and those interviews look very fun! Now I'm thinking on what my characters would say. :)


message 36: by Alice (new)

Alice Plouchard | 4 comments Hi Mia,
I would love to be interviewed. My book, Female Adventurers, is nonfiction profiling a dozen Puritan women (plus one mystery woman) who helped colonize Massachusetts and Conecticut.


message 37: by Mia (new)

Mia Darien (mia_darien) | 425 comments Sure thing. Works particularly well for my site, since I was born in CT and lived there until very recently. Send me am email and we'll arrange it: Darien.mia @ gmail.com


message 38: by Mia (new)

Mia Darien (mia_darien) | 425 comments I'm giving this thread another bump, because I'm starting back up with author and character interviews for November onward. So contact me if you're interested in doing one or both!


message 39: by Ashley (new)

Ashley Mindykowski (ashleypearce) | 2 comments I would love to give this a go!


message 40: by A.L. (new)

A.L. Butcher (alb2012) | 1013 comments Me please.


message 41: by Mia (new)

Mia Darien (mia_darien) | 425 comments Rock on! Anyone interested should send me an email at darien.mia @ gmail.com, and tell me whether you'd like to do an author, a character, or both!


message 42: by A.L. (new)

A.L. Butcher (alb2012) | 1013 comments I found the stuff the other day. I'll get onto it...
