    • If the request for the interview comes from the reputed publisher, we do not hesitate in doing it.
    • If the request comes from the author, we insist on reading the book first and depending on the quality of the work, we decide upon the interview.
  • The interview generally consists of 8-10 questions focusing on the author’s personal life, professional life, past books, latest book and future projects.
