Romance Authors – Tell Us About Yourself

We surveyed our readers and asked them what they would like to know about romance writers. We developed this interview format from their requests and suggestions. This is a completely free service for authors – just fill out the form and we’ll post it to our site so readers can find out more about you and discover your books.

If you are not a romance writer please don’t fill this form out, but go over to Interviews With Writers instead where writers of all genres are welcome to submit an interview.

  • If you use a pen name that is the name we need here. This will go in the title of your interview post.
  • Email will not be displayed or shared.

  • Tell your potential readers about yourself so they can get to know you. Think about what you want to know about the authors you read.

    Do not post html or links in this section, the links for the post are below. Any links added will be deleted.

    What you post here will be used as is, we don't edit for grammar or typos. This is where readers get to know you, so think and type carefully. You will not be able to edit this post.

  • Please use an image of yourself, not a book cover. If you prefer not to have your photo then leave this blank.

    Please name your image with *your name or pen name* (no spaces). If you give your image a generic name it will be overwritten by another person that loads a file with the same name. This is important. Please name your file appropriately.

    Remember that I do not know what you look like, I don't know if the picture in your post is you or not. 🙂

    Upload an image no larger that 400 pixels wide and smaller than 100mb total (NOT 100px, that is too small). Large images will cause the form to fail.
