Author interviews almost always focus on questions regarding an author’s latest publication (and that’s great because it’s how readers discover new books!) but sometimes it’s fun to ask authors to talk about their lives beyond the book they’ve just written. Authors Answer poses 20 standing questions and asks authors to pick FIVE that they want to write about.
I began Authors Answer in 2020 as a stand alone blog. In 2025 I moved the project into a Substack newsletter. All of the posts that appeared on the original blog are available below. [You can also scroll through the original posts by date.]
Are you an author? Visit the Questions page to pick five of the twenty questions you’d like to answer and have shared in the Authors Answer Substack Newsletter.
