Hi, nice to meet you !
Hi Chazz! Do you only run author interviews with writers such as Saffina who we are all proud of for doing so well, or might you consider some promotion for my two children’s fantasy books that are out there on Amazon in paperback and on Kindle? Great site by the way, I only found it by following Saffi’s link.
Hi Lynne. Glad you found me then. When a lady asks me where I’ve been all her life, the answer is, “Waiting for you!”
To answer your question: Yes, I do all kinds of author interviews. What are your titles?

Chazz, linked to this blog post today (19 August ’11) as the daily breaking news item for the American Society of Journalists and Authors (ASJA.org) web site. Found you through Publitariat.com
The link will be up for abut a week. It’s on the members-only side of the ASJA site, so you can’t see it. But I wanted you to know it was linked, credited, and your thoughts appreciated.
Sure wish you could use a different color scheme. This gold-on gray thing is awful hard to read. and I won’t be making it a daily check as I do with so many other, more legible, sites. If you change the format, let me know.
Shrug. Well, thanks for linking.
About the design: Many people seem to find reading black text on a white field feels like staring into a light bulb. That said, I will have a new website this fall as a companion to this site which will look more traditional (to differentiate it.)
Different strokes.
Also, I’m presuming you meant you linked to the piece on the divide between the published and the self-published. (It was unclear from your message.)

Nominated you for the Work In Progress Challenge. Just go to my blog, copy down the questions, and tell us about your work in progress.
Thanks so much, Roger! Got a link for that because I can’t seem to find it. Cheers, mate.
Nominated you for “Blog of the Year” award. Go check out “Writing Is Hard Work” to find out how to participate. Great blog, man. Read it every time you post.
Hi Chazz. I host a weekly podcast about Nashville’s music business named, Music City Social. Recently, a local start-up contacted me about some press. They’ve created a cool micropublishing platform named, Populr.me (That’s their domain as well) I don’t cover “tech” on my podcast, but remembered your article titled, “Micro-publishing is publishing: Tools, tech and committing to change” and wondered if you’d consider doing a piece on them? The owner is Nicholas Holland, who also owns CentreSource, one of the world’s (yes – “world’s”) most-respected interactive agencies. This company needs a push, and you seem to have a grasp on micropublishing better than most. Thanks for your consideration
Thanks, Drew. I’ll look into it. Thanks for thinking of me.
Can’t find a way to contact you direct with a question/comment; so I’ll do it here. First time writer – two of trilogy for young teens finished – sought/received freelance edits of samples for deciding on one editor to use – each was, mostly, very different from the others – how do I decide?????????????????
Hi Norm. I tried to reply to you directly as well but your page wouldn’t open. To your question, it’s really not possible for me to say from this distance. All I can suggest is you evaluate the direction each editor wants to take the manuscript and how many errors they caught. I’d be inclined to use the editor who caught the most errors. Read through their suggestions and see who appeals to you most. (After that, the other variables are price, personality mesh and speed of delivery.)
