Book to Podcast
Book to Podcast is a 30-40 professionally recorded interview, aimed at non-fiction authors to highlight key aspects of their book.
Authors select 5 chapters of their book they want to use to provide a deeper understanding to readers, reach niche communities and approach different publications who would find those aspects their book valuable.
The full interview is split into 5 standalone interviews, providing the author with 6 audio files they can use on websites and across their social media channels in various ways.
The process is easy:
Step 1: The author selects five chapters of your choice and sends a PDF copy of the book
Step 2: I create the questions and get them approved
Step 3: We arrange a convenient time to record over Skype
Step 4: The interview is done and I provide the author six edited and polished professionally recorded audio interview files.
Testimonials
“Viv is someone who very quickly put me at my ease, the interview process was very straightforward and the time passed in easy conversation. The interview, which was a ten minute conversation about how I came to write my book, gives me as a new author the opportunity to enable readers of my book or visitors to my website to get to know me a little more. They can then decide for themselves if I’m someone they’d like to get to know further either through my writing or working directly with me. I’d certainly recommend Viv’s service.” -Rebecca Perkins, author of ‘Best Knickers Always: 50 lessons for midlife’
“I love Viv’s idea of creating author interviews on podcast giving all book lovers the opportunity to get an insight that goes way beyond the pages of the book.
Viv uses her skills to create a fabulous podcast for the author and the listener. It was a joy to be interviewed by her and her natural style made it so easy to be relaxed and give real value.” -Leigh Ashton, ‘author of iSell – unlock your winning sales mindset’
