Why You Don’t Want to Miss #AuthorChat:

#AuthorChat is the perfect opportunity for authors to share insights about their books, their writing process, and more—all while engaging with their fans and winning over new readers!

💫 What to Expect:

  • Interactive Live Show: Viewers get to ask questions, win prizes, and interact with their favorite authors.
  • 30-Minute Live Sessions: Each episode features one author (unless it's a dual-author book) and runs for 30 minutes. Shows may extend to 60 minutes if there's a high turnout!
  • Giveaways and Fun: Authors will have the chance to host giveaways, talk about their books, share their writing journey, and so much more!

How It Works:

💻 The Show is LIVE: Tune in to Instagram Live for an interactive, real-time experience.

🗓️ Pick Your Date & Time: Available Sunday through Saturdays, between 5pm–7pm EST. Need a different time due to your time zone? We’ll make accommodations for you!

📱 Tune In: About 5 minutes before your show, look for the reminder message I’ll send on Instagram. No hassle, just show up and enjoy!

🎧 Headphones Recommended: While not always necessary, using headphones can minimize feedback for a smooth experience.

🌐 Strong Connection: Ensure you have a solid internet connection—keep your phone or device close to your router, and consider having others off your network.

🎉 Relax and Have Fun!: This is a laid-back, fun environment where we make the experience enjoyable for everyone.


What You’ll Get from #AuthorChat:

  • A Review of Your Book: We’ll post your review during the week of your live show appearance.
  • Social Media Promotion: We’ll spotlight your appearance across our social media to get your book and name out there!

What’s Required?

💰 Payment: Each 30-minute session is just $100. Please note that we do not offer refunds for cancellations.

📚 Copy of Your Book: Please provide a print copy of the book you’ll discuss on the show.

📲 Sharing the Love: We ask that you share and promote the show on your own social media. The more engagement, the bigger the turnout!

📧 Include in Your Newsletter: If you have a newsletter, be sure to add the show link to get your fans in on the fun!

💬 Engage with Comments: Since the show is recorded, fans may have questions after the live session. We ask that you check the comments for about a month and engage with as many fans as possible.


Want to Run a Giveaway?

🎁 Giveaways are an excellent way to create excitement and engage your audience—but they’re optional. Whether it’s books, Kindles, or iPads, let us know if you'd like to host one during your show!


On the Day of the Chat:

📲 Be Ready: Join Instagram about 5 minutes early to get set up.

🔌 Make Sure Your Device is Charged: Ensure your phone or tablet is plugged in and ready for the session.

🎧 Headphones: Have them ready, just in case.
