Seeking #authors #illustrators, #editors & more for interviews! #booklovers

Happy Valentine’s Day!

This post is for book lovers like me.

Not sure if you noticed any changes in my posts as of late, but I’ve really switched gears to focus more on my love of reading. When I was approached to take over the IWSG Book Club I took it as a sign. While I will always be a writer at heart, whether I publish or not, I really think I’m a booklover first. More importantly, I want more people to read. That’s why I consider myself a reading advocate. I want everyone to have a healthy reading lifestyle, at whatever level that means for them. Of course, I’m all for the spread of literacy, but I also think there’s value in seeing reading as a form of entertainment. That’s why I’ve decided to launch my new interview series on YouTube.

I want to create an interview series that’s all about how great authors, books, and reading really are. I don’t want just another interview program about shameless and boring self-promotion. I want to sit down with authors, illustrators, and other industry professionals and talk about why reading is so wonderful, how they come up with their stories, break down some of their best plots, and then get silly and relate to them on a real and personal level.

I get that this won’t be for everyone, but I think it will be a lot of fun and look forward to being able to share it with the world. Click the images below to learn more.

Happy Valentine’s Day back at ya!
I just finished visiting and subscribing to your YouTube channel. I really like your idea, and I sending up a prayer that it becomes a success. If there is anything I can do, please let me know.
All the best.

Thank you so much for subscribing. That’s a big deal for me. If I ever get 100 subscribers, I won’t know what to do with myself. Thanks for your support.

I think this is a great idea! I’m of course terrified at the idea of actually appearing in such a way, but will work on gathering my courage to do it eventually. I can certainly help to spread the word!

Wonderful idea, Toi! I think you’re on the right track with your idea and I’m glad you’re focusing on your love of reading. It’s fundamental to good writing. Hats off to you.
