Insecure? You Bet! by JQ Rose
9: 15 a.m.--Tuesday, July 6
In 30 minutes, I will be interviewed by Shelley Irwin, the host of the Morning Show on PBS radio in West Michigan. The interview will be anywhere from 6-10 minutes which will probably seem like a lifetime.
Talk about Insecure!! I have never had an interview over the phone, nor Have I ever spoken to such a large audience.
I am secure about my book information, but what else will she throw at me? Writing this concern on paper is supposed to help me work through the nerves. However, I believe it is only ramping them up! Hang on, I'll be back to let you know how it goes.
Update: 11:30 a.m.This morning I was interviewed on the local PBS station about my memoir, Arranging a Dream.
I was so wrong in thinking the time would drag. When the interview ended, I realized we'd been talking for 10 minutes. The time flew by. I was lucky she stuck to the questions I sent her, so no surprises. I had rehearsed the answers pretty well, so I didn't stumble over the answers. Well, maybe a few times. Now I wish I had longer to make more points about life storytelling, but I'm glad I was able to get a lot of information out to the world.
I appreciated the host bringing up my upcoming workshop on Saturday on life storytelling at the local library several times.
This experience was the perfect one to have when not knowing what to expect. Now I'm ready to tackle being a guest on podcasts. Can you suggest a podcast that hosts memoir authors or mystery authors?
Do you think appearing on podcasts and radio/tv shows helps to sell books? I have heard they don't, but at least they get your name out.
Have you been a guest on podcasts or radio/tv shows? Were you insecure? Do you have tips for being an awesome guest? Aren't I full of questions this month???
Please leave your answers or any thoughts below in the comment section.
Thank you!!!

Congrats on the interview on your local NPR. That's so exciting. I bet it got you a lot of exposure for your books. Sorry, but I don't know any podcasts for mystery writers.
Hi JQ,
Congratulations on your interview and YES, I believe that is another medium for selling more books and just getting your name out there.
I will listen to the interview.
All the best and keep on pushing, Lady.

Hi,
Enjoyed the interview, you Life Storytelling Evangelist. You fit the title. Good luck with your workshop at the library.
Sent out a tweet about the interview.

Well done! You worried for no reason. Glad it went well.
Hey, I knew it would go well. Congrats on doing an interview.
Congratulations with this! I've done a bunch of them, one even where they sent a guy to record it so it came out professionally. I can't say I've gotten a bounce from any of them but they were fun.
Yours sounded great (I just listened to it).
How exciting to be interviewed! Congrats!
Thank you for posting the link to that recording of your interview. I've done a few radio interviews (fun, thank goodness), and one TV interview. Just before the cameras rolled, the host asked me what question I would like her NOT to ask. You guessed it. That's the question she led with. I felt betrayed but carried on with a smile. Thank you for all the resources on memoir and for writing your own story! Looking forward to reading your DEADLY UNDERTAKING. Write on!
Hi JQ, thanks for sharing the link to your interview. I could listen to it here in Yorkshire! You came across really well. I've been interviewed on the radio, too. I was massively nervous, but like you I felt the time flew by. Glad your interview went well. You sounded like a pro!
Well done! I reveled in my TV-radio experiences. They were so fun and done in a flash.
How exciting for you! I can understand how quickly the time passed since you were talking about something you know so well and love. Big congratulation.
Thanks, Natalie.
Thank you, Pat.
Thank you, Pat. The workshop went very well. Thank you for your good wishes. I'm afraid preparing for the workshop made me very late for replying to my friends here at IWSG.
Thanks, Alex.
I love your belief in me!! Thanks.
Trust me. I was terrified too!! But I think being nervous about it keeps you sharp. Just take deep breaths!!!
Thanks for listening. Good to know it sounded good to you. I have read that you don't sell books on podcasts/radio, but it's good for getting your name out to a lot of folks who may hear your name again and look up your books. Fingers crossed they will hear from me again!
Your host was pretty sneaky. I'll look for that question and know how to answer it thanks to you!!! Hope you enjoy that quirky mystery.
Aw, shucks, thanks, Helena.
You're a natural, I bet. Glad you had good experiences.
