At this time, we are at capacity for Author Interviews until January 2027.
- Romance (Contemporary, Historical and genre mashups with Mystery & Thrillers)
- 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 8-12 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).
