I really enjoy these interviews. They’re so insightful, and I think you’re really quick to build an on-camera rapport with your guests! The only thing I would suggest is maybe to introduce the interviewee slightly more - even if it’s just a this is X, author of X, Y, and Z, or a little background about how you guys know each other. Love that you’re spotlighting indie authors as well!
I prefer that people find out who they are as we go, and who they are as people, which is why I've adopted the origin story approach. I always include links to each interviewee so people can look them up if they want more info on their books.
Stephen, teasing me with the special edition is rude! 😂 loved this interview! I love how different Lauren’s “origin” story is compared to a lot of others, and also her publishing path as well! Can’t wait for the new novellas!!!!
It was nice, as a lot of people of a certain age do have Tolkien as a foundation. But some I talk to came into fantasy later, or their starting point is so very different it creates a different POV like Christopher Ruocchio whose foundation stories are not the same as that of most people.
@@StephenAryan44 yep!! One of my favourite things about your interviews is highlighting how different people’s paths into both sff and creative spaces are.

@@StephenAryan44 fair enough! And that does come through, I always feel like I know the authors more by the end! Can’t wait to see who’s next!

That was a great interview, Stephen. I love these author interview, they really inspire me to keep on writing and following my dream. 😄
Glad you enjoyed it!
