Interview Policy. Please Read Carefully.

To schedule your Author Interview on this blog, please click here to submit the submission fee. Then, come back here and choose your questions by following the format below. Your fee helps me to keep this site and this service running.

Let’s Get Started!

Pay the submission fee here.

Choose at least 10 questions from the list below and email me your answers at yecheilyah@yecheilyahysrayl.com with your social media handles, photos, book covers, a brief bio, and a link to your website or blog.

Please attach your questions in a Word document and attach images separately.

Once I receive your email, I will respond in 2-3 business days. If I have any follow-up questions, I will ask you before setting a date for your feature.

The questions are below. They are not in any particular order. Start with question 30 or question one—your choice. The questions include a wide range of subjects, so make it a fun mix.

NOTE: If you are visually/hearing impaired, please be sure you have a way to attach your book cover images as a separate attachment. I will not copy the cover from Word / PDF documents.

Be as thorough as you can! One sentence answers and yes and no responses don’t help us get to know you. This is your chance to show off your writing. Explain fully and dig deep. The spotlight is on, so shine!

About.

We cannot ignore it. We will most likely buy books from people we know, like, and trust. We know who they are and what they stand for, and we trust them to deliver. By learning more about YOU, the author, people become more interested in your work, such as your writing and books.

Founded in 2016, Introduce Yourself is founded on this understanding. The interview is a promotional opportunity for new and established authors with questions tailored to help readers better understand the author, not just as a writer, but as a person.
