Author Interview Questions Generator
Questions for podcasts and blog features
Podcast hosts and bloggers are busy, and an author who arrives with a set of thoughtful questions is an easy yes. This gives you questions a host can use directly, covering your book, your process and your story. Describe your book and your background.
Why prepare my own interview questions?
Most hosts of small and mid-size shows welcome a suggested question list, because it saves them preparation and guarantees a good conversation. Arriving with one makes you the easy guest to book, and it lets you gently steer toward the stories you most want to tell.
What makes a good interview question?
Open-ended questions that invite a story rather than a yes or no, and specific ones tied to your actual book and journey rather than generic prompts any author could answer. A question the host could not have asked without knowing your work signals real preparation.
How do I get booked on author podcasts?
Target shows whose audience matches your readers, send a short personal pitch that references a recent episode, include a one-line hook and a suggested question list, and make it obvious you will be a low-effort, high-value guest.
