Gain More Visibility--Marketing Your Book
Opportunities to Gain More Visibility for Your Book!
New Rates as of December 1, 2008
Every author is seeking ways to gain more visibility for their book—and Armchair Interviews has the right answer for you! You will gain more visibility through several options: Audio interviews, Q&A and ads—plus we also offer expedited reviews (email for details). All audio interviews are promoted in our ezine—and you can link to the interview from your site-giving it double/triple visibility. Below are details about these exciting marketing / visibility options.
Doing an audio or e-mail Q&A interview with Armchair Interviews will provide worldwide exposure for your book. We also encourage links to our posted interviews from your publicist or author web site as well as from your publisher’s site.
Armchair Interviews has been named to Writer’s Digest “Best 101 Websites for Authors” for 2006, 2007 & 2008! We are deeply honored by this acknowledgement and will continue to pursue the excellence that got us where we are today.

Choose One of Two Interview Options
1) Audio interviews:
A 15-20 minute professional interaction with customized questions, between the author and one of our interviewers. Your interview remains on our Web site for 60 days in our audio interview section, and is downloadable to any computer. After two months your files are moved to our archives. Our interviewed authors have had great success with these formats, and our interviews are continually downloaded.
Cost: $250—payable via check, money order or PayPal, in advance.
Before this happens, we send you a letter of agreement for your signature. You send us your book that the interviewer will use to prepare questions for the audio interview. When the letter of agreement and payment is received, an interview date is set.
Book cover-art is placed by the audio interview information and a short author bio. (See Audio Interviews on our Web site for examples.) A review of the book will also be posted in Great Reviews section. All this is posted within days after the interview, ready for easy downloading and listening.
2) E-mail Interviews:
If you are a smaller publishing house or an author without a huge promotional budget, we also offer an e-mail interview. This interview consists of twelve questions, prepared by our interviewer, who will also review your book.
Cost: $100—payable via check, money order or PayPal, in advance.
We’ll send you a letter of agreement for your signature. You send us your book that the interviewer will use to prepare questions for the e-mail interview. When the letter of agreement and payment is received, an interview date is set and we’ll send you the questions. Please keep your answers to a short paragraph. After the interview is finished, we will proofread it and post to our Web site for 60 days.
