The Coffee Break Interview

Need a break from work? Seize the opportunity to share your story through a coffee break interview! I want to give inspiring writers, novelists, editors, journalists, content creators, narrators or anyone else with a unique story to tell the chance to be heard. Just answer some quick questions during your coffee break, and you’ll be spreading your message in no time.

Want to participate in a Coffee Break Interview? Send an email to gemma@gemslittlebookshelf.co.uk with the subject line “Coffee Break Interview”, and I’d love to have you join! Do you already have some questions you’d like answered? Include them in your email, and I’ll make sure they’re included. Or, take a look at the list of questions below and let me know if any of them interest you.

Coffee Break Interviews are an excellent opportunity to introduce yourself and promote your work. Before submitting your answers to the interview, you’ll need to include a short introduction about yourself, social media links, and favourite books or released novels or works. Additionally, you are welcome to share a photograph of yourself and mention any books or content that you want to promote or articles you find interesting.

A few questions:

1. Name / Pen name
2. Where are you from?
3. Tell us a little about yourself (mini bio)
4. What made you decide to become a writer/content creator?
5. What genre are your books? What made you write that genre?
6. How long does it typically take you to write a book?
7. How many books have you written? Which is your favourite?
8. Do you have a favourite Character from your books?
9. Do you ever suffer from writer’s block? How do you overcome it?
10. Have you collaborated with other writers or content creators?
11. If not, is there anyone alive or dead you’d like to collaborate with?
12. Are you currently working on something right now?
13. Can you give us any hints? What are the characters like?
14. Do you ever read your book reviews? What do you think of them?
15. If one of your books could be turned into a film – which one would you choose and why?
16. Finally, if a film were made about your life, who would you like to play you and why?
