Curiosity Quills Interviewed Me for Their Review Blogger Column

I am so excited to announce that I was contacted not too long ago by Verity Linden at Curiosity Quills. Curiosity Quills is an active community site built around literature aficionados of various bents. This website posts articles about writing tips and marketing your books, as well as genre discussions. The site is also host to high quality free fiction in the form of a small number of serialised novels, and professionally edited short stories.

They presented me with their idea for a new weekly review blogger column:

Review blogs are well established by now as one of the best and most popular routes by which readers find recommendations for good quality books in the endless slush pile of new and otherwise unknown authors. This is word of mouth, made grand and far-reaching by the power of the internet age, and Curiosity Quills plan to host a weekly column about it.

The column will focus on and interview a different review blog every week, talking about the blogger’s passions, favourite books, how and why they blog, personal projects and what makes them chose to review one book over another (as the TBR pile is always so much higher than the time available!), among other things. We want to highlight blogs readers can rely on for quality, unbiased reviews to help them find books they will truly enjoy.

And guess what? I am the FIRST review blog that they have interviewed. I was so honored that they contacted me. Plus, I think it's great that they are helping out us book bloggers by featuring us and our work.

I just want to say I had a great time doing this interview, though I found being on the other side of the interview quite nerve-wracking. I now give major credit to the many authors who I have interviewed lately because now I know how it feels. Though I know I wasn't the best interviewee ever, I still had fun, and I am so grateful to Curiosity Quills for this amazing opportunity to be a featured blogger this week.

I also wanted to mention that CQ also runs Curiosity Quills Press, a small, independent publisher with a small stable of carefully chosen authors. Their catalogue for Review Copies can be found at http://curiosityquills.com/request-review-copies/. I actually took advantage of this and am currently reading Worlds Burn Through by one of their amazing authors, Vicki Keire.
