Following several great interviews of her own, Rose McClelland has posted her five tips for a great radio interview.
They’re excellent tips – the sort of tips that make you think, “I can nail this!” Even I started to think that as I read. But I checked myself: “No, I can’t,” and this was the trigger:
Imagine that they’re sitting opposite you. Imagine it’s a friend or acquaintance who has a genuine interest in your book and wants to know more about it. Chat away to that presenter as you would to anybody.
The way I would chat to anybody isn’t what you want to hear on the radio. That’s why I’m not going to do this. I would need to plan my words in advance, as in a presentation.
But you can do it, I’m sure. If you’re considering a radio interview about your book(s), read the tips and go for it!
In contrast, I was delighted to be interviewed by Paula R. C. Readman recently because [spoiler alert] the clubhouse tearoom is virtual and I had plenty of time to plan my answers.
Where do you stand on interviews?

The thought of being interviewed scares me! I have recently put myself in the role of interviewer, but using email!

The clubhouse tearoom is virtual! Oh no it isn’t 😂🤣 It’s a real place, but its location is top secret, like the restaurant at the end of the universe 😉🌌

I stand corrected! Apparently I didn’t imagine being blindfolded and whizzed off somewhere. 🙃😎
