If you want to get your message across in media interviews, you can tip the odds in your favor by giving the reporter or radio talk show host a list 10 questions that you’d like to be asked.
That’s a common practice for authors when they are being interviewed by radio hosts. Some reporters will use them, some will use them as a starting point and jump off to whatever interests them (which is good for both of you) and some won’t look at them because they have their own ideas (which is fine too). Think of these questions as a FAQ. Here are examples:
- Why did you write this book?
- How does your book differ from other books on this topic?
- What is one key point from the book?
- What is one thing you should do?
- What is one thing you should not do?
That’s just for starters. Use your own creativity to take these examples and personalize them.
