♥Indie Author Spotlight Rules & Questions♥

Want to be featured on my blog? My way to help Indies with getting the word out about their books, the way so many bloggers have helped me. I don't have any Genre specifications. I do require that all applicants be Indie Published. We Indies need all the help we can get. Also, I do not like any forms of severe bondage, snuff, or abuse of women. Now I don't mean books in which the abuse is portrayed as wrong and punished but those where it is portrayed as being OK. A little horse play is fine. I have always promised my followers that I will not recommend or advertise a book to them that I would not read myself. No offence to those writers out there but I have to stick to my morals on this one. 

Below is the form questions that you will need to email me. Tell me a little about yourself. I wanna know who you are. Be creative with your answers. Don't worry about not being so professional. I have found that I would rather know the real person behind the writing. I will ask that we not get carried away with language. I don't mind it, I have a mouth like a sailor but we do not want others to be overly offended. So just answer the questions and email them to me along with a picture of you that you want everyone to see, the book cover and if you have a trailer, I'll post that as well. You can email these things to nicolehillauthor@gmail.com and thanks to all who are interested. 

I can also post a character interview if you want. Write a good one. No one knows your characters better than you do. I like fun and different interviews I want to feel like these are real people getting interviewed You can take a look at one that I did for my book here if you like: http://nicolefaithhill.blogspot.com/2012/05/character-interveiw-with-kenneth-and.html?spref=tw You will see I got a little carried away with it but that's what I like. So go forth and interview your characters. Them email them to me. ;P

I post the interview link to my FB page, FB fan page, Google +, Twitter and Pinterest. I also set up auto tweets. Your interview and link will be tweeted once a day for a month after your interview goes live. All I ask in return is that you help me out as well and share my links with your followers.

1. Name: 

2. The Title of Your Work or Group: 

3. Where are you from? Does not have to be the name of the place exactly. You can say Hick-ville Florida, for example if you are more comfortable with that. 

4. In what genre do you write?

5.In your own words, what is your book about? If you were not the author and trying to explain this awesome book you just read to a friend, what would you say about it? 

6. What is your writing style? Do you follow all guides and rules? Synopsis, outline etc. or do you just sit down at the computer and type to see what happens. 

7. Have you ever written anything and thought; " The world has got to see this!" ? 

8. Do you have an editor and Cover Designer or do you do this yourself? 

9. Who is your favorite author. Not just someone that you read allot. I wanna know whose book you read that made you suddenly know that if you didn't do this for the rest of your life then you would never be happy. 

10. Is there anything you find particularly challenging in your writing?

11. Do you write your characters or do they write themselves through you? 

12. Do you ever write yourself into the characters? 

13. Is writing your full time job or are you "Keeping your day job"? So to speak.

14. If you could go back in time and meet one famous person or legend in history, who would it be? 

15. There are millions of new books released every year. What in your mind makes yours stand out from all those millions in your genre? 

16. In the world of Indie, marketing is very difficult, especially if you don't have the funds to pay for it. Have you found a great free way to market your work that you think other Indies will benefit from?
