Dear friends of the bookish world, just a quick call out to let you know that I am looking for willing ̶v̶i̶c̶t̶i̶m̶s̶ participants to feature on my blog on either of my guest post items from dates in April onwards. Both of these features give contributors the chance to reveal a little about themselves and their work to my readers, and hopefully allow us to get to know each other a bit better and all learn something fun and/or informative.
Yes, I want YOU! Yes, you at the back, I’m talking to you as well. No point hiding, I can see you!
The first feature you will be familiar with if you read my blog regularly, as I have been running it for six months now and it has proven very popular. It is called Friday Night Drinks and you can see the previous ones I have done here. As you will see, it is a fun, chatty format that covers a lot of random topics and, as I am quite nosy, it is not for the shy and retiring amongst you, time to let it all hang out! This is open to anyone connected in any way to publishing and I have dates available from the end of May onwards.
If this sounds a little frivolous and intrusive, I have a new feature starting at the end of March called 5W1H, which is a more serious and focuses on the process and craft of writing.
The new feature is aimed primarily at authors and is based on the What, Where, Why, When, Who and How question format (hence the name). I’ve got lists of questions about the writing process each starting with one of those six words, and the guest will get a random selection of one from each category to answer about their writing. So its six questions about your work and your writing process, plus a chance to showcase your latest project. I’m hoping I, and my readers, will pick up some fascinating and helpful insights and tips from some of the great writers out there. I have slots open on this from mid-April onwards and it is not fixed to any particular day of the week so I am happy to tie it in with publication days or other events you have going on.
So please, step up and let me know if you are interested in taking part. Please. Pretty please.
In all seriousness, I love getting to know others in the publishing world and gently probing (not in an invasive way) them to discover more about their work, so I’d be delighted to hear from you.
Come over, the door is open and I’ve got the kettle on…
Friday night drinks sounds great to me! 😀

Having participated in Friday Night Drinks and come out of it relatively unscarred, I’ll be happy to take part in 5W1H. I don’t have anything specific to promote, as Carrion won’t be ready for publication for months yet, but I should have finished the latest draft by the end of March, so might have something useful to share from that.

I just tried to email you but your mailbox has returned my message as spam. Spam, I ask you! You might have to mail me, my mailbox is open and welcoming in comparison!
