If you’re a writer or involved in the book industry, it’s likely that at some point you’ll be asked to interview an author – or several of them at once.

So how do we build up the skills and techniques we need to feel confident, and to do it well?

This introductory online class is designed for people who chair author panels or interview writers and illustrators at festivals, book launches, community events, bookshops or libraries. It will also help literary podcast hosts and event MCs.

We’ll cover:

• The interviewer’s role
• Preparing for the event
• Managing your panel
• Managing the audience.

It's free, but numbers are limited, so please book.
