News: Camilla on Break from Meeting the Authors

February 16 2022

Hello everyone! Meeting the Authors is on pause for the month of February and March.

I have accepted a very part-time position as a Family Navigator with the Family Navigation Network, which is a part of the University of Nevada, Reno’s Nevada Center for Excellence in Disabilities.

I need a month or two to get settled. I will then open the contact form, resuming author and book blogger interviews, and Friday with Friends.

Plus, it’s my birth month. Here I come 52! I traditionally take this month off from MTA. May you have a wonderful February and March, and I will see you on the other side. I will continue to be active on facebook, twitterinstagram, my personal blog, and in facebook groups. If we aren’t connected on those platforms, I’m happy to connect there, too.

Camilla
xoxo

Latest News: Contact Form is Open

The time has arrived to re-open the Contact form for authors! The form will only be open long enough for about 20 authors to apply. This could happen within an hour or up to one week. At that time, the Contact form will close once again. This is to avoid having a back log of wonderful authors who wish to be interviewed.

If you have been interviewed on MTA in the past, and if it’s been longer than 6 months since your interview, you can complete the contact form for a “Friday with Friends” feature. Make sure to note that in the comments of the contact form. If you have already been featured on Friday with Friends, please note that I will add your name to a wait list, as those who have not been featured previously will take precedence.

In addition, I interview book bloggers once or twice per month. If you are a book blogger, and wish to be spotlighted, please complete the Book Blogger contact form.

Don’t miss out – Come on over! As a reminder, there is no charge to be interviewed on this site.

Latest News: Camilla is Taking a Vacation from MTA

Hello everyone!


(Nevada Beach – Lake Tahoe – Nevada – July 2021)

It’s that time again. About every 4 months or so, I take a month vacation from Meeting the Authors. I’ve made my way through the authors who completed the Contact form the last time it was open.

When I return around September 6th, the Contact form will re-open for authors and book bloggers who would like to be interviewed. If you have outstanding questions and answers, feel free to return them, and yours will be at the top of the list.

I will continue to be active on facebook, twitterinstagram, my personal blog, and in facebook groups. If we aren’t connected on those platforms, I’m happy to connect there, too. I’m incredibly behind on responding to author interviews and guest posts for myself, with appointments for myself and my two kids kicking into high gear. I’ll also definitely be slipping in some relaxing time!

Latest News: Taking a Vacation from Meeting the Authors

Hello everyone!

As a birthday present to myself, I’ll be taking a vacation from Meeting the Authors for the month of March. I turned 51 on February 26th, with it aligning perfectly with having made my way through the authors who wanted to be interviewed from the last time the Contact form was opened.

When I return around April 1st, the Contact form will re-open for authors and book bloggers who would like to be interviewed. If you have outstanding questions and answers, feel free to return them, and yours will be at the top of the list.

I will continue to be active on facebook, twitter, instagram, my personal blog, and in facebook groups. If we aren’t connected on those platforms, I’m happy to connect there, too. I’m incredibly behind on responding to author interviews and guest posts for myself, personal matters, and creating an Etsy storefront for my daughter’s artwork. I’ll be busy!

While I’m at it, I haven’t properly introduced myself since I began this website in May 2019. To learn more about me, my MTA interview can be found here … https://meetingtheauthors.com/2020/03/07/meet-the-author-words-of-alchemy-by-camilla-downs/

I leave you with me dancing while cooking dinner in celebration of my 51st birthday! Hahaha! Hope everyone has a wonderful March! – Camilla

Latest News: Contact Form is Now Open

The time has arrived to re-open the Contact form for authors! The form will only be open long enough for about 20 authors to apply. This could happen within an hour or up to two days. At that time, the Contact form will close once again.

This is to avoid having a back log of wonderful authors who wish to be interviewed. The first time around the wait list was so long that by the time I reached a few authors they had already published another book and we had to adjust their answers to the questions.

If you have been interviewed on MTA in the past, please wait at least 1 year (and with a new book published), before reapplying.

In addition, I’m adding a spotlight or interview of top notch book bloggers once or twice per month. If you are a book blogger, and wish to be spotlighted, please complete the Book Blogger contact form.
