How to be a Good Interviewee

How to be a Good Interviewee

by Lynn Tincher


Now that you have your book, artwork, etc. in the limelight, how do you handle the press that comes along with it? What will make you a good interviewee so that you can land even more press?

Email interviews are the easiest. Most of the time, a list of questions will be emailed to you and you will have a certain amount of time to answer the questions. First read through the questions, think about them. Make you sure take to time to read each part of the question and answer them honestly and completely as possible. Then go back and re-read the questions and your responses to make sure that nothing is missed and that you have said everything that you want to say.

For radio and TV, talk to the hosts to find out what types of questions that may be asked of you. Make a list of your answers to have on hand for radio and memorized for your TV interviews.

Know your audience. Make sure your responses are age appropriate or audience specific.

In TV interviews, be mindful of your appearance and mannerisms. Practice interviewing in front of the mirror or with someone you trust.

These are just a few tips to help you on your way to success.

Landed a New Publisher

I’m doing a happy dance and I have to share! I just landed a publisher, Blackwyrm Publications, for the second edition of Afterthoughts, to be released in April, as well as the sequel Left in the Dark to be released in October. Along with that, I sold them on the idea of a Trilogy that I was working on, the first book to be released in 2010!!!!! That’s four books I have to write!

Book Review for Afterthoughts

The mind is a powerful thing. Paige Aldridge learns this and more in Lynn Tincher's "Afterthoughts". Sarah, Paige's foster sister was there for her when she was found beaten without memory of the past few months. When her nephew is found dead just over a year later, Paige starts having scary flashbacks. She tries to focus and be there for her adopted sister but things only get worse. Paige ultimately believes she is losing it until a mysterious woman shows up, willing to help her. With Paige's family dying off one by one, and the scary implications building in her mind, it's up to her friend and partner Jay to uncover the truth behind the strange woman and what's happening to Paige. The shocking ending to "Afterthoughts" makes it well worth the read. The first in a mind bending series, I'm already anticipating where Paige's destiny will lead her next.

Getting Started Again

I am very excited to be doing research for Left in the Dark, the sequel to Afterthoughts. I am adding new twists and turns that will hopefully be totally unexpected and I am really enjoying the research.

I am thankful to have electricity again. I know there are so many that still do not and my thoughts are with you. They are also with those who had storm damage or injuries due to the storm. I still can't believe all the damage Ike spread all across the US.

I am really looking forward to both of my book sigings this weekend. I can't wait to meet everyone and see old friends again.

Till later.........

After being the victim of a kidnapping, she is traumatized by memories she does not know she has. She sees visions of the murders and believes she is being followed by someone she's only seen in the shadows.

Teamed up with her partner, Jay, she tries to put all of the pieces together. Are all of these things connected? Will Jay believe in her and most importantly will Paige believe in herself?

About the Author:

Lynn Tincher was born in the small town of La Grange, Kentucky and grew up in Goshen. She has always had a vivid imagination. One of her fondest memories of growing up was when a short story of hers was read in front of the students at Oldham County High School. Since then, her love for writing blossomed.

Lynn studied Theater Arts in College in hopes of becoming a Drama/English teacher. She has written articles in local newspapers and travel brochures. Now, she is focused on writing novels, short stories, poems and publishing her weekly eZine.

Not only does Lynn look forward to sharing her stories, she is also focused on helping other new writers in their efforts to get published. She publishes a weekly eZine to hundreds of people that is read all over the world. In her eZine there are Writing Tips, Featured Artists and the Pet of the Week. The Featured Artist section is free publicity for Artists of any kind and she is working with the Kentucky Humane Society for the Pet of the Week section. Lynn is also working with the American Cancer Society so that ten percent of the proceeds from her book will be donated to them.

Lynn has also partnered with Constant Contact to help provide affordable email list management and email marketing. She has offered this service to area churches at a discounted price and is willing to help her clients get set up to manage this on their own as well.

Her inspiration comes from her family and some of her favorite authors, Nora Roberts, Piers Anthony and J.K. Rowling. (Yes, she's a Potter fan!)

Lynn is pleased to announce her first book signing event. Join her at Carmichael's Bookstore located at 2720 Frankfort Avenue, Louisville, KY 40206 on Saturday, September 20th at 4:00 PM.
