Posted on Saturday, February 25, 2006 - 10:42 am:        Hi Everyone, Lately I've been noticing a trend in the industry. It seems like more and more authors are becoming radio hosts where they interview other authors. What's the cause for the trend? Does it help the author/host sell more books? Is there a fee associated with getting interviewed? Why won't the radio hosts just start a public access TV show instead? Of course, I realize that more and more people are becoming authors and are looking for a way to be heard. I have no opinion on rather this is a good or bad thing. Just trying to understand the trend. I look forward to reading your responses.   Cynique "Cyniquian" Level Poster Username: Cynique Post Number: 4030 Registered: 01-2004 Rating: N/A Votes: 0 (Vote!)

Writers may also be just a little better informed about more topics, another asset a good talk show host should have.   Dawnny Newbie Poster Username: Dawnny Post Number: 5 Registered: 04-2006 Rating: N/A Votes: 0 (Vote!)

In fact most do. most literary places you see book covers on charge to post the book cover and info.
