I have had a number of emails recently about getting interviews on local radio or the growing trend for podcasts. So I am going to be sharing some of the posts from my booklet Media Training. I used as part of training courses that I ran with my video production company where we would take business people, charity administrators and authors through live radio and on camera interviews. The course also covered how to construct a press release and to create a local market for any new product including books.Over the next few weekends I shall be sharing a number of chapters from the book.Some of the posts first appeared in 2015.. but since I am planning on starting author interviews as podcasts in the New Year.. I thought it was time to air them again. Put your name in the comments if you would like to be a guestThis week how to prepare for your live or recorded interview.Wonderful news, your hard work in promoting your new book on social media and locally has paid off and you get the call or email. An invitation to do an interview on a radio station, television show or author promoting podcast.

My BBC Radio interview was nothing like this, the presenter was ill prepared and the copy of my book he was meant to read had been thrown away by the cleaner. And I was so nervous to boot, it was doomed from the start. Great tips Sally …..

Looking forward to these posts, Sally. I was recently on Annette’s Podcast and could have used this training. I think I did okay because she is a professional and helped me feel comfortable and less anxious. I had a wonderful time talking with her. She is a lovely lady. I think talking with you would be fantastic! You are one awesome lady! Hugs xx

I would love to b included Sally? Radio is the perfect medium if you don’t look like Madonna or Goldie Hawn. My problem is I always want to ask the interviewer questions! Bad habit.
