Who We Interview

Published Authors: Traditionally published or indie authors with books already available (or upcoming within 3 months).

Genres We Feature Most:

  • Romance (all subgenres including romantasy)
  • Mysteries, Thrillers, and Suspense (including cozy mysteries)
  • Book Club Fiction (Commercial and Literary Fiction)
  • Feel-good Fiction & “Cozy” reads

Optional but Encouraged: Authors with unique publishing journeys, interesting research stories, or behind-the-scenes insights into their writing.

  • Romance (all subgenres including romantasy)
  • Mysteries, Thrillers, and Suspense (including cozy mysteries)
  • Book Club Fiction (Commercial and Literary Fiction)
  • Feel-good Fiction & “Cozy” reads

We focus on books that:

  • Have strong reader appeal (book club favorites, bingeable series, highly anticipated debuts).
  • Fit within our audience’s taste: lighthearted, escapist, page-turning, or emotionally rich.
  • Are available in print, e-book, or audiobook (bonus if in Kindle Unlimited or library-friendly).
  • Timing: Please pitch at least 6–8 weeks before your release date to align with our schedule.
  • Interview Style: Conversational and reader-focused. We’ll talk about your book, your writing journey, and end with book recommendations for our listeners.
  • Availability: Interviews are recorded remotely (we’ll provide the link and instructions). Plan for 30–40 minutes.
  • Promotion: Authors should be open to sharing their episode with their audience once it goes live.
  • Books outside of our niche (self-help, business books, children’s books such as picture books, middle grade, poetry, academic works).
  • Guest pitches not aligned with our audience’s interests (our listeners are looking for their next great read).

I am currently accepting Advance Reader Copies (ARCs) for consideration for author interviews on What to Read Next.
