Listening to bestselling author interviews is one of the best ways to discover how to become a bestselling author. Even if you’re not interested in becoming a bestselling author, every author I’ve ever talked to wants to reach a bigger audience. And, listening to authors whose books you’ve read and admire is, well, fun. I also just added a comment area at the bottom of this page so you can post questions and/or comments.
Scroll below for interviews with bestselling authors like Mary Higgins Clark (our latest). Listen on your computer OR download the files to a portable electronic device. You can ALSO use the social media share bar on this webpage to share the interviews with others who might appreciate them.
Enjoy, and remember…
Getting published isn’t luck,
it’s a decision.
